Red Dead Redemption 2 Takes Up A Ton Of Storage Space

Better make some room on your console.

45 Comments

With its sprawling setting and sheer range of activities to partake in, Rockstar's open-world western, Red Dead Redemption 2, is a huge game on PS4 and Xbox One, and you'll need to have quite a bit of space on your console to install it. The developer has opened a support page for the title on its website, confirming its file size on PS4 and Xbox One--and it's even bigger than previously estimated.

According to the support page, Red Dead Redemption 2 weighs in at 99 GB on PS4. You'll need to have even more room if you're going digital, as the installation process will require an additional 50 GB on top of that. Xbox One owners, meanwhile, will need to have 107 GB to install the game.
