However, one possible issue among early PS5 adapters is storage space. While the console’s built-in 664GB of storage is impressive, it still Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure could take up a great deal of that space in short order.

Fans can now order a PlayStation 5 wherever video games are sold, provided they can get to them while supplies last.
