Hell, the store page literally states SSD is *required*. HDD's are slow and have AWFUL load and read times. There's a reason PS5's load times are blazing fast, it has an SSD.
I have a HDD for *backups* and I transfer the game I primarily play most at the time to SSD so it's extra smooth, and I've *never* had any of the issues anyone keeps talking about. Ever.
(But yes, PSA to all HDD's objectively suck for keeping high end games functioning. SSD is a *requirement* for modern tech games. The whole reason PS5 is fast loading is because of an SSD.)
If you're using an HDD for games it clearly states to use an SSD for, you're gonna have a *bad time*.
I can't think of any other reason for it, because I have genuinely *neeeever* had any of these "stuttering" issues people keep talking about. Ever. It's always been absolutely seamless and without any tearing at all.
Anyway, SSD will make game load continuously faster than any HDD would, so that *should* clean *most* of the issue up. It just needs a quick read time of the data, because a HDD *will* chug just to load new data in.
