Game system storage capacity: How to find it for PS4, Xbox One & more

You know which video game console you have but you might not know the storage capacity. Whether it’s an Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Nintendo Switch, here’s how to find the storage capacity of your gaming console. NOTE: Since your console’s operating system takes up hard drive space, the stated storage might need to be rounded up to match the model. For example, an Xbox One might show it has 475 GB of storage, which means you have the 500 GB model. Xbox One
