The initial part of the FF7 Rebirth Demo, Fall of a Hero in Nibelheim, is now accessible for players to enjoy, but first, you need to know how to install it and whether you have enough space for it.
Downloading the FF7 Rebirth Demo
Before we dive in, it’s crucial to recognize that this demo is exclusively for PS5. If you don’t have access to that console, then unfortunately, you won’t be able to play it. It’s probable that the second part of the demo will also be a PS5 exclusive. However, you can always watch streamers or YouTubers cover the demo if you’re unable to play it yourself.
For those fortunate enough to have a PS5, simply head over to the PlayStation Store. You should find FF7 Rebirth under ‘What’s Hot’. If not, you can search for the game, and it’ll appear as a result.
Thankfully, downloading this demo is a breeze. Once you’ve got the game’s page up, just click on the ‘Demo’ button and it’ll start installing. After it’s downloaded, you’ll be able to start playing!

How Big is the FF7 Rebirth Demo Download?
The FF7 Rebirth Demo is quite sizable for just a demo. You’ll need to have 48.69GB of free space for it to install.
If you’re running low on space, there are a couple of things you can try:
Deleting games you no longer play should be the first step. Even if you have cherished memories with a game that you haven’t played in months or years, it might be time to bid adieu. Just think of all the new memories you’ll create with FF7 Rebirth.
Investing in an external hard drive could be the next option. They may be a bit pricey and degrade over time, but having more space is always helpful.
If you already have an external hard drive but don’t have enough space on any one storage device, then it’s time for some housekeeping. Rearrange files and games between the drives until one has enough space to comfortably accommodate the update. If you still don’t have enough space, then it’s time to start deleting a few things. Don’t hoard unnecessary files!
