Which non-optimized PS4/XB1 games are you going to install to the internal SSD to take advantage of the faster loading times?

That is, games that have no specific next gen support / have no next gen requirements (for example, can be fully run off of a external HDD). Are you going to focus on the largest games by file size, or try to squeeze in as many games as you can?

The one that immediately comes to mind for me is RDR2. Destiny 2 is also a strong contender, but it'll be getting a next gen patch so it'll require the SSD anyway.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I didn't get the mid gen consoles so I'm also going to update the game to 4K

I beat FFXV back in 2016 at launch, and while I did enjoy the game, the minute plus it would take each time just to fast travel was beyond annoying.

Well now FFXV Royal is one of the freebies for the new PS+ collection, I'm going to give that game another whirl with all its DLC and patches that I missed out on.

Going to depend on whether or not PS4 games have faster load times on the internal SSD over an external SSD. Xbox tests suggest it isn't worth using the internal storage for back compat.

Has anyone tested Disaster Report 4 yet? Didn't that game run like butts on PS4?

Borderlands 3. 40 second loading times for a game that expects you to constantly reload to farm a boss is shit.

I want to see what Prey's loading times look like on PS5. They are rough on PS4 (a Cryengine issue).

XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen is borderline unplayable on PS4. Very long load times, janky, choppy performance that can drop to the single digits when there's environmental destruction, texture pop-in galore and more crashes than Windows 95 on a 486.

I suspect that game is very CPU and I/O limited. I want to get the Platinum trophy one day but there's no way I'm doing that on PS4.

I actually bought this game for like 1.99 the other day.
