DICE’s hotly anticipated Star Wars Battlefront will require 23GB of space on your PlayStation 4 hard drive to install, the game’s official Twitter account has confirmed.
In comparison, the PC version will require 27GB and the Xbox One version just 19GB. By today’s standards this isn’t particularly large, although Battlefront will be supported by additional content in December in the shape of the Battle of Jakku, so it’s worth keeping that in mind in case you are running low on space on your console.
Star Wars Battlefront is scheduled for release in the U.S. on November 17 and November 20 in Europe. The game represents an ideal starting point for those of you looking to jump on board the current-generation bandwagon, as there’s a special Star Wars-themed PS4 bundle available, complete with Darth Vader paintjob. Then again, if you’ve already got a PS4 and still fancy a bit of Star Wars swag, then you should probably invest in the Darth Vader DualShock 4 to complement your gaming arsenal.
Battlefront is seen as a reboot of sorts of the popular science-fiction shooter franchise, which garnered huge popularity during the PS2 era. However, unlike previous games, the game won’t include a single-player campaign, instead focusing on large-scale multiplayer battles across iconic planets such as Hoth, Tatooine, Endor, and Sullust. Players take on the role of either the Rebels or the Empire as they go head-to-head in heated firefights, where you’ll be taking down massive walkers, securing drop pods, and even stepping into the legendary boots of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Han Solo, and many more of Star Wars’ iconic characters.
Battlefront’s Season Pass will set you back $49.99, though unlike many modern video games will not feature microtransactions. In terms of performance, the game will run at 900p on PS4.
