PS5 Owners Discover Genius Trick to Free Up Storage Space Instantly

A Simple Solution to Maximize Storage on Your PlayStation 5

Gamers are rejoicing after stumbling upon a brilliant trick that can instantly free up valuable storage space on their PlayStation 5 consoles. The PS5 typically comes with an 825GB solid-state drive, but only 667GB of it is actually usable. However, this space can quickly fill up, especially when installing large games. Luckily, a savvy Reddit user shared a space-saving tip that caught the attention of gamers looking to reclaim their storage.

Trophy Recordings: The Hidden Culprit

One of the biggest culprits behind storage bloat on the PS5 is the automatic recording of Trophy videos. Every time you earn a PlayStation Trophy, a video is saved, taking up precious storage space. Many gamers may not even realize that these videos are being saved, let alone watch them again.

The Game-Changing Trick

According to the Reddit thread, turning off auto recording for trophies can be a game-changer. By disabling this feature, gamers can easily save significant amounts of storage space. In fact, one thrilled PS5 owner claimed to have freed up a whopping 21GB simply by deleting their trophy captures. The trick has been widely praised by the gaming community, with many expressing gratitude for the newfound knowledge.

How to Free Up Trophy Storage Space

Fixing your Trophy storage woes is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Settings > Captures and Broadcasts
2. Select Auto-Captures
3. Navigate to the Trophies section
4. Under the Video Clips subheading, change the setting to None

By making this change, you can prevent future clips from being saved as Trophy videos on your console. However, keep in mind that this won't remove any existing videos that are already taking up storage space. To free up this space, manually delete the files from your PlayStation's media.

With this genius trick at your disposal, you can now maximize your PS5's storage capacity and make room for more gaming adventures. Happy gaming!
