Though neither CD Projekt Red nor Sony have confirmed the figure, it certainly sounds like it's legit. Considering the fact we're dealing with a massive open world that's reportedly around 64 square kilometers, you can imagine the amount of space required. Previous titles that've taken up 50GB on Sony's console include Killzone: Shadow Fall and The Last of Us: Remastered.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released on May 19 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The game will include 16 free DLC packages across all platforms.
