Mojang acknowledges Minecraft storage issue (not enough space) on PS4 & PS5, but you can try this interim workaround

Minecraft is undoubtedly one of the most famous 2D-Sandbox games that allow players to build whatever they want to. With millions of players worldwide, the procedurally generated world of Minecraft encourages players to unleash their inner creativity.

Minecraft players are to gather and collect resources if they want to build anything in the survival mode, whereas the creative mode gives them unlimited resources so they can create and build anything they want.

One can also create new gameplay mechanics, assets, and other items as well. Owing to its immense popularity, many consider Minecraft to be one of the greatest video games of all time.

Initially launched in 2011, the game is still going strong with millions logging in daily even after a decade. Having said that, the frequent content updates and events sometimes cause bugs and issues that ruin the gameplay experience.

Recently, Minecraft players complained that they were unable to join or connect to their friend’s world with others reported that multiplayer was not working for them after migrating their account.

Now, many Minecraft players on the PS4 and the PS5 are reporting that they are getting a storage issue with the game saying it has not enough storage available despite having tons of GB free on their devices.

The storage bug is preventing Minecraft players from downloading maps and worlds, which is quite frustrating. It is still unclear why Minecraft is acting up in regards to the storage space available.

I’m playing on my ps4, I have over 300 gbs free on my hd and external. Why can I not download my map from the store? I don’t have the ability to uninstall and reinstall the game right now but that’s the only thing I’m seeing online for a solution. Anyone here know any other way?(Source)

Hello, I wanted to download some worlds from the marketplace but it says I have not enough space although I have almost no games on my PS4. Yesterday the marketplace downloads were working fine but today it wont let me. Is there a workaround for this bug? (The marketplace is not working well today, they are connection errors and screenshots not loading, maybe its connected to the downloading error?)

In the meantime, some users have found a workaround that seems to be working before Minecraft eventually has the storage space issue again. The workaround involves reinstalling the game and keeping the saves.
