Resident Evil Village PS5 Pre-Load Time And File Size Revealed
Resident Evil Village PS5 pre-load times have been revealed alongside the file size that players can expect pre-day one patch. The file size is a smaller than the Xbox Series X version, though that's likely to change with the inclusion of the RE: Verse multiplayer mode previously announced.
The PS5 reveal comes via PlayStation Game Size, a reputable source of PlayStation-specific news. In a recent tweet, the account shares that Resident Evil Village will come in at 27.325 GB, sans day-one patch, with pre-loading kicking off on May 5. With pre-loads typically starting two days prior to launch, the date isn't surprising, but it will be interesting to see how much that number goes up with the inclusion of RE: Verse and any day-one patch that may be planned. Especially since the multiplayer add-on is an additional 15 GB on Xbox systems.
