The beginning of 2022 has already been an exciting time for many video game fans as a number of popular titles have launched. Some notable releases thus far include Horizon Forbidden West on February 18 and FromSoftware’s hit game Elden Ring on February 25. However, the anticipated releases are far from over as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is expected to launch in only a couple more days.
The LEGO Star Wars series has been around for a while now. Starting back in 2005 with the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, the series has branched out to encompass many eras of the Star Wars timeline, including events from the original, prequel, and sequel trilogies, along with even the Clone Wars. Now, fans of the franchise are getting a chance to relive many of these moments again as part of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Recently, gamers learned some details about what to expect when it launches.
In a tweet from PlayStation Game Size, the possible file size for the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was revealed. According to the post, the download size for the game on PS5 is 38.182GB. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind with this news. First, this file size does not include a possible day one patch for the title. Secondly, this is specifically for the PS5 version of the game. With this in mind, it is possible that file sizes for other platforms could vary to a certain degree. Nevertheless, this news should give fans a decent idea of how much storage they will need to download this latest installment in the LEGO Star Wars series.
Beyond revealing the file size for the game, this tweet from PlayStation Game Size provided several more details about the upcoming launch. The tweet noted that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will launch on April 5. However, fans will be able to pre-load the title a couple of days early, on April 3.
While this download size for the game is not small, it is far from the storage needed for many other tiple-AAA games on the market. For example, Elden Ring requires players to have at least 80GB of space free on their PS5 in order to download the title. Furthermore, the popular battle royale game Call of Duty: Warzone can take up over 90GB, more than double the space needed for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
It will be interesting to see what the fan reception is to the next installment in the LEGO Star Wars series. Hopefully, gamers will have the necessary storage available to check out this newest adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launches April 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
