Rockstar Reveals Red Dead Redemption 2 Game Size
By Zac Cameron ·
One of the most anticipated games of the year is very close to launch, and now players can find out exactly how much space they'll need to play Red Dead Redemption 2.
Initially spotted on promotional media for Red Dead Redemption 2 by U.S. retailer Target, the exact size of the highly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 was still kind of vague for a while. The promotional material seemed to reveal that the final size of the game would need 105 GB of hard drive space for the PlayStation 4, a size that’s quite a bit larger than some had predicted. Now, it seems that in an effort to prevent too many rumors flying around, Rockstar Games has revealed exactly how large the game will be on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Announced on their support page, Rockstar Games has released the download specs for Red Dead Redemption 2, and it’s pretty large. Disc installation will require 99 GB space for the PlayStation 4, and 107 GB space for the Xbox One. Players wanting to purchase and download the game will still need 107 GB of space for the Xbox One, but PlayStation users will need 99 GB of space for the game, with an additional 50 GB for the installation process, for a total of 149 GB.
We’ve already talked about how long playing the game will take, so it’s no wonder so much space will be needed to install the game. Hopefully Rockstar will allow players who are downloading the game to at least begin the installation a few days before the launch, otherwise there could be quite a few unhappy fans watching a loading screen on launch day.
