The PS4 will take a bit more to get up and running, which includes having to back up files as you'll have to completely start afresh once the new drive is in place. Installing a PS4 hard drive is a lot more time-consuming than increasing the storage via an external solution.

Some have also suggested pure SSD equivalents, which ramp up load speeds dramatically but can be prohibitively expensive if you're trying to increase storage rather than shrink it.

Clear out some space on your PS4 and Xbox One because this game is huge. You can even opt for an SSD/HDD hybrid drive, such as the 1TB Seagate FireCuda gaming drive that's available on Amazon UK. Rockstar Games confirms the size of Red Dead Redemption 2’s install file, both for digital download and disc. We opted for a Western Digital WD10JPVX - an older 5400RPM Blue drive with a 7mm depth which fits nicely - but there are plenty of more recent SATA III alternatives. The Dead Space remake was released earlier this year for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series XS. There are some out there that will meet the specifications, at around the £50 mark. The legendary Dead Space is free to download right now, but there’s a catch as it might not be quite what you’d expect. To fit a PS4 it will need to be no greater than 9.5mm in depth or it'll be too big for the hard drive enclosure drawer. However, not any old 2.5-inch drive will work. Cheesy, efficient and fun.The PS4 uses a 2.5-inch SATA HDD, the type which you'll find in a laptop. With the GRP, I can instakill almost every zombie in the game by hurling them into any of the gratuitously common spiked walls in the game (a horrifying safety hazard for UJC workers but a delightful mechanic for gamers). It takes a lot of effort, risk, time and ammo to kill zombies with conventional combat. Here was my dilemma, if you could call it that: Do I spend all my precious credits making a bunch of mediocre guns I can’t find ammo for? Or do I focus on buffing my small collection of free weapons to fight the progressively tougher and scarier zombies? It was a no-brainer - especially when it came to the GRP. A gameplay livestream in September 2021 revealed that skin will now peel, so it won’t be necessarily as easy as pointing your laser cutter and making a clean cut. This made it difficult for me to experiment with different weapons because nearly all the obtainable guns have to be crafted at significant cost. All zombies have a hardy resistance to gunfire, ammo is scarce and resources are hard to come by. But while playing, it can feel like “The Callisto Protocol” focused on the game’s melee system to the detriment of other mechanics.
