Using the compression tech, which has been dubbed Kraken, PS5 games can require significantly less storage space than their PS4 equivalents.
Not only does the console’s SSD load games faster than the hard drives of past console generations, but the boffins at Sony HQ have developed a system to reduce the required file size of the console’s games.
It’s somewhat surprising that the PS5 version of Gran Turismo 7 doesn’t appear to take advantage of Sony’s SSD compression tech.
