You lose some because 825GB refers to 825.000.000.000 bytes, divide by 1024 and you get 768GB usable space. In the early days of ps5 there was 667GB left over after OS and stuff
Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade
jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago825GB is the raw space, not usable space.
You lose some to formatting and file structure, you lose more to system reserved space for updates and what not.
Out of the box, a 1 TB PS5 has 848 GB available.
So if you’re starting with 825 GB that means you’re likely to only have, what? 700 GB free? Less?
Some games push 100 GB, so max of 7 of those not counting DLC and what not?

Don’t forget that the OS is on there too taking up space and from reports it’s about 160 GB on it’s own.

The OS is 160 GB? That seems unrealistic. Windows 11 is bloated AF and is less than 30 GB.
What could an OS running on fixed hardware have that requires 160 GB?

I think that’s a bit too big to be just the OS, they have like 50GB of built-in stuff (share factory+astro but you can uninstall both). It’s probably something sensible like 60GB but they’re playing it safe by doubling the reserved space. It’s Sony after all
