King of Fighters XV is only a couple of weeks away from its PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 launch. The solid-looking team-based brawler is set to be an extremely important title for SNK, as the veteran developer seeks to solidify its position on the modern fighting game pantheon. The new Samuari Shodown was great — aside from the rough online netcode — and we're hoping that King of Fighters XV is even better.
You might need to free up some space on your SSD if you plan on snagging the PS5 version, however. As reported by the ever-reliable PlayStation Game Size, King of Fighters XV is a chunky download — especially for a fighting game. It weighs in at just over 68GB on Sony's current-gen system, and that's without a day one patch.
For comparison's sake, fellow PS5 fighter Guilty Gear Strive is just 16GB — so it's fair to assume that King of Fighters XV has a lot of bulk to it. A relatively huge character roster probably plays a significant role — all those voice lines don't come cheap!

Definitely looking forward to this and I plan to put a lot of time into this. It will have rollback, so that’s good. Don’t have a PS5 just yet so the PS4 version it is.
It's big, but not as big as Mortal Kombat 11.
GG Strive is on Nintendo levels of optimized storage though, amazing given the look and scope of that game.
These file size articles are soooooooo awesome.
Like Persona 5 levels of awesome.
Or Dragon Age Inquisition.
@kyleforrester87 Thanks Kyle. I think of you reading them and it makes me smile. Very wholesome.
@shonenjump86
Oh my God it has Rollback?
Thank God.
Stoked for this but I'm not sure where to fit it in with Windjammers 2 taking up my time plus OlliOlli World, Horizon 2 and GT7 coming out. I kinda like getting in on fighting games when they come out, so we'll see.
@PcTV I think it’s the fact that the art style allows them to not use a lot complex textures on characters (it’s mostly just solid colors and shading) and customization is limited to color swaps. It makes it even more amazing how good they can make it look though.
On the other hand, MK has hundreds of character and equipment skins and very detailed materials and stuff.
I’m not too sure that KOF should fall closer to MK than Strive though
@TheRedComet Yeah, while the rollback had some problems in the first public beta, I heard nothing but good things about it after the 2nd one. Online play should be good in this.
that’s ridiculous man . what’s eating up all these gigs , it’s older FGS like MvC3 , MK9 & USF4 that had a ***** load of content & didn’t eat up nearly as many gigs .
Oh man, this not really understandable. But in the other hand, Tekken 7 with all its updates is also pretty heavy. But on PS5 the sizes should be reduced.
Beatem ups have been fun since MK11 arrived and hopefully more fun arcade action awaits. Now if only SF6 could be on the same level as MK11
That is indeed weird. I doubt the final size will be that large though.
@TheRedComet yup, I SNK confirmed it awhile back
My is will always be Benimaru, Joe and Terry/K
Hi there fellow gamers.
I´m very much looking forward to KOFXV.
Been a fan since KOF 98 and 99 and played all of them ever since. I have K´, Yashiro and Robert as my possible main team.
Even though I´m not very good at them, I´ve always enjoyed the characters and style and having Team Garou and South Town, even if it is dlc, is going to be pretty cool having those characters playable once again.
Also with Rollback more people will be join and populate game.
And let´s see how bonkers the story will be this time.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
@Luigia This is not meant disrespectfully but are you a middle-aged British person?
