We already got games that are +100GB, and when games become 200GB or more the PS5 is really gonna flex some muscle.

That is, if games reach those 200GB.

I've seen other discussions bringing the argument that game sizes could actually go down in size, at least at first, because some games duplicate part of the info several times, taking into account the time that traditional HDDs lose when searching for it, something that won't happen with the new ones.

Beyond that, we still have to see what kind of benefits does the faster NVMe drive of the PS5 bring to the table, other than faster loading times and texture streaming.

Also to remember that this gen because of Pro and X1X several games were already receiving textures and other assets in 4k, so I don't expect game sizes to go from 25-50 to 200Gb. I think 50-100 will be the range.
