Destiny will take up this much space on your PS4

Destiny is coming soon to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It’s available to purchase right now on the PlayStation Network, and you’ll even be able to preload the game so that you can start playing the digital copy as soon as it hits midnight. Hopefully Sony lets you preload pretty early, because Destiny, like most games this generation, is pretty big.

According to the latest digital listing (via Reddit) for the game on the PlayStation Store, Destiny will swallow up 40Gbs of your PlayStation 4’s hard drive. That might not seem like too much, all considering, but it’s about 10% of the available space on a fresh console.

40 GB hard drive storage (or its equivalent) is required. Additional storage may be required for some updates and features. Storage requirements subject to change.\

It also means that those of you who’re getting the digital version will need to ensure you have a bunch of available bandwidth to download the thing. Using the magic of completely guessing, I reckon the download itself will clock in at about 12GB, with everything compressed.

The versions available for the older consoles will likely be quite a bit smaller, as their textures and assets won’t compare to the newer versions. Expect the game to come on at least two discs for the Xbox 360, and a single Blu-ray for the PS3. Those of you with the smaller 4GB Xbox 360 or the 12GB PlayStation 3 might need to acquire a little more storage space to be able to play.

The PC version of Destiny clocks in at 0GB, because Activision doesn’t want your money…. right now. Destiny is coming on September 9.

The game’s beta kicks off next week for PlayStation users, with Xbox owners stuck for an extra week wondering what the fuss is about.

    You know, even through mass prayer, I don’t think our internet will be good enough to support this gen’s downloads.

      It can support it. Just not at the rate we would want. I have a 2mb line, pretty weak, but downloaded a 24 gig game, took a day, which is not TOO bad

          True, not saying it’s PERFECT though, been able to play online games pretty well. I don’t think the infrastructure is AS bad as most people think. It’s just highly overpriced at this point in time

            That’s my biggest issue atm, it’s expensive to maintain my speeds, because I game online a lot. Compared to the rest of the world though, we’re also very slow overall, as an added kick in the nads. Just, our internet is one of the worst in the world, with many African countries having better internet than us.

            July 10, 2014 at 08:22

            Well yeah, we’re also kind of used to it – and most of us don’t know what faster internet is like. So like, we don’t really notice and probably don’t complain the way we really should. 🙂

            First time I am using the pre order on my PS4 so hope it works out well for me!! If they give us 2-3 days to download the game before it launches I will be happy and might just use the feature more in the future!!

        I chuckled at Geoffs comment. Who said anything about it never coming to pc? Maybe you shouldn’t sit so close to your pc screen counting horse anus pixels in Skyrim.

          Sir, I have you know that I’m a PC Skyrim horse anus expert and there are more pixels in a horse anus than on all the PS4 exlusives put together. I’ve even installed the enhanced horse anus texture pack mod. #justmasterracethings
