In the wake of the recent PS5 games showcase, the install size of some games coming to Sony's new console at launch has been revealed. Per the direct PlayStation page for the game, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition takes up 105GB of space. This large size is due to it including a PS5 remaster of Marvel's Spider-Man, which takes up about 55GB.
The size of the Demon's Souls PS5 remake has also been revealed and you'll need 66GB to install Bluepoint's visually impressive remake. Both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition have an 825GB SSD. Expanding this storage is possible but only through special drives that have to be certified by Sony. So far, no new drives have been certified yet.
It's worth noting games can be stored on regular external hard drives, you just won't be able to play them unless they're installed on the SSD. Carefully choosing which games to install will be critical as more games arrive in 2021 such as Horizon Forbidden West and a God of War sequel.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls are coming to the PS5 at launch on November 12, though the former is also releasing on PS4. Preorders for the PS5 are open but retailers are regularly selling out.

Insomniac Games captured the hearts of players everywhere with its forray into the Marvel universe with Spider-Man for the PS4. This sequel isn't a full-fledged game, but you'll get to play as Miles Morales, who gained his spider powers at the end of the first game, and save New York.
Ready for launch
The Ultimate Launch Edition of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales includes the base game and a remaster of Marvel's Spider-Man with full ray-tracing and 60 FPS performance mode.
