No: the available size listings do not support the claim that Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5 is only a quarter the size of Hollow Knight on PS4. PSprices lists Silksong at 2.48 GB for PS5 and Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition at 4.7 GB for PS4—making Silksong about 53% of the listed figure, or a little over half. These are storefront listing figures, not verified installed-storage measurements taken at matching update versions.
How big is Silksong on PS5?
PSprices lists the US PlayStation Store download size for Hollow Knight: Silksong as 2.48 GB on PS5 and 2.52 GB on PS4. The listing says its information comes from the official PlayStation Store, but PlayStation’s own product page does not state a download size in the material available here.

Is Silksong on PS5 a quarter the size of Hollow Knight on PS4?
No. The PSprices listing for Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition gives the PS4 version a size of 4.7 GB. Comparing that with Silksong’s listed 2.48 GB PS5 figure gives a ratio of about 53%: Silksong is a little over half the listed size, not one quarter. PSprices: Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition listing
The comparison crosses console generations and is between different editions: Silksong on PS5 versus Voidheart Edition on PS4. The figures are listing data, not a controlled comparison of installed games at the same patch version. The available sources do not establish why the quarter-size claim appeared, or whether updates, region, language packs, or other factors explain any difference.

What the listings say for both games
| Game and edition | PS4 listing | PS5 listing |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow Knight: Silksong | 2.52 GB (PSprices listing) | 2.48 GB (PSprices listing) |
| Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition | 4.7 GB (PSprices listing) | 1.2 GB (PSprices listing) |
PSprices lists both games for both generations, but the figures should not be read as a direct test of how much console storage each game occupies after installation. The listings may change, and the cited sources do not confirm matching update versions or installed footprints.
Which game-size number should you use?
For a storage decision, treat the published figures as snapshots rather than guaranteed install requirements. A meaningful comparison needs the same kind of measurement and clearly identified platform, edition, storefront region, and update state. In particular, do not substitute the PS5 listing for Voidheart Edition (1.2 GB) for its PS4 listing (4.7 GB), or call either figure an installed-size measurement.
