Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PS5 Physical Copies Require a Download to Play | Push Square
We know Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has one of the biggest PS5 file sizes ever, so it’s no surprise to learn that physical copies come with a disclaimer, demanding a download. Boxart for the anticipated release includes “download required” small print above the age rating, meaning you’ll have to set aside some time to install the additional data before you play.
This isn’t a massive surprise, as the capacity of a Blu-ray is around 50GB, and Respawn’s latest release weighs in at an eye-watering 147GB on PS5. The developer could have included a trio of discs to avoid this issue – both The Last of Us: Part II and Final Fantasy 7 Remake ship on two discs – but it looks like it’s decided to rely on a download instead.

In fact, for people with bandwidth caps or slow Internet, this could be a deal-breaker. Obviously, we’re all used to day one patches these days – but rarely does a game demand downloads this big!
