Clear Hard Drive Space
Whether you buy your games physically or digitally now, you’ll eventually run into the issue of having filled up your PS4’s hard drive with installed games. With games weighing in at 50+ GB, a 500 GB hard drive doesn’t take long to fill when you take the operating system into account, too. If you’ve not done a clear out on your system for a while, take a couple of minutes to ensure that you’ve got the necessary space for Horizon Zero Dawn.
The game comes in at around 40GB, so one or two games off your hard drive should be plenty of space. There’s also a day one patch to take into consideration, too, so make sure you’ve got a few GB extra just in case. Oh, and while you’re on your system, make sure to plug those controllers in and have them fully charged, you don’t want the battery to run out midway through an intense battle with the machines now, do you?
