Internal free space

PS5

Open Settings.
Open Storage.
Read Console Storage free space — not the number printed on the box.

Need a drive? That list is on Storage.

Xbox Series X|S

Open Settings.
Open System, then Storage.
Read free space on internal storage.

Series games install on the internal SSD or a licensed card, not a USB drive. Hardware links: Storage.

Your number

Write the free-space number from Settings. Compare it to the planning leftover, not to a box print. 200 GB is a PlayDesk reserve. Install size is not published.

Planning leftover after a 200 GB reserve
Console	Leftover if you reserve 200 GB	If free space is under 200 GB
PS5	about 467 GB	The reserve does not fit. Move a game or add a drive.
Series X	about 602 GB	The reserve does not fit. A licensed card, not a USB drive.
Series S	about 164 GB	The reserve does not fit on the 512 GB model.
Series S 1 TB	about 600 GB	The reserve does not fit. A licensed card, not a USB drive.

The math is on Storage. It is not an official file size.

PS5: Settings → Storage → Console Storage. Write down free space.
Xbox: Settings → System → Storage. Write down internal free space.
Compare that number to the storage table.
