'You're a god for this one,' say PS5 users after trying gamers' save trick

GAMERS are thrilled when they discover a genius trick to instantly free up valuable storage space on their PlayStation consoles.

If you have a PS5, there's a simple trick to save huge amounts of storage space.

Typically a PlayStation 5 functions an 825 GB (gigabyte) SSD drive, of which only 667 GB is actually usable.

But that storage space can disappear quickly, especially if you install large games.

In a tips thread posted to Reddit's PlayStation subreddit, a space-saving trick caught the attention of gamers.

One user posted: “Disable auto-recording for trophies – all clips/recordings may blow up internal storage.”

A video is saved every time you earn a PlayStation Trophy (the console's official name for achievements).

This means you can waste storage space on Trophy videos that you will never watch again.

In fact, you may not even realize they are being saved.

A delighted PS5 owner replied: “Bro, I just dumped 21 GB by deleting all my trophy footage. And I turned off auto-capture. You're a god for this one.”

Another said: “I didn't know this was a setting, thanks!”

And someone added: “Holy s***. I used to get them manually deleted every month. Just saved some time!!”

How to save trophy storage space on PS5

It is extremely easy to solve your trophy storage problems.

First go to Settings > Recordings & broadcasts and then choose Automatic recordings.

Go to Trophies and then look under the Video Clips heading.

Change the setting to None and you can prevent clips from being saved.

If you want the best trophies to still be included, you can opt for platinum-only inclusions instead.

Changing this setting will stop you future Trophies are not saved as videos on your console.

But that won't delete existing videos that are already taking up your storage space.

Go to your PlayStation's media and then manually delete the files to free up storage space wasted on trophies.
