Eli5. TB vs GB and why does it matter on a PS game console?

520 views

Hello there! Just a Mom trying to familiarize myself with gaming basics for the sole purpose of buying a birthday gift for my boy who will not be expecting it.
I just need a little help with this part because it’s a lot to wrap my brain around.
Does it matter TB to GB when it comes to the gaming console?
TIA

A TB(Terabyte) is 1,024 gb (gigabyte) and for a PS system or any gaming system is is the anount of storage a system can hold. Higher storage space means more games aps etc. For reference most AAA games (69.99 or major game releases) are usually in excess of 40GB per game

For a visual reference i have a 1TB PS5 console and have several AAA large file games. I downloaded god of war yesterday and the file was 56GB for the file

If your on a budget you can get a smaller storage system and buy an external hard dive and sync the storage device to the systen via USB. These are usually pretty cheap depending on the size (my 4TB drive cost me 100$)

Also not sure what system your looking at but snother thing to look at is does it have a disc drive or no. This means can you play phsical copies of a game or do you have to download them.
