The PlayStation 5 comes with an 825 GB solid state drive, however, only around 664 GB of it will be available to install games and apps. This has lead to some concern as to how many games people will be able to have installed at once.
We Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has a very large install size on every platform and it appears NBA 2K21 on the next-generation consoles is no different. A post via Reddit reveals the basketball game requires a minimum of 150 GB of storage on the PS5. On the Xbox Series X and S, the file size is around 120 GB.
NBA 2K21 is currently available on the Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. It will release as a launch title for the PlayStation 5 on November 12 in the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, and in the rest of the world on November 19.
