Red Dead Redemption 2 PC System Requirements (required HDD Space: 150 GB)
Rockstar Games has revealed, via its Game Launcher, the official PC system requirements for Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar recommends using an Intel Core i7-4770K or an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX 480.
Red Dead Redemption 2 will have lower RAM requirements. Rockstar recommends having 12GB of RAM. Lastly, the game will require 150 GB of free hard-disk space, which is a trend we just discussed on the COD news item. The Wild West is no small matter.
A few days after the announcement of Red Dead Redemption 2 for Windows PC, the development studio Rockstar Games has launched the presale and announced the system requirements. The current version (1.13) for the Playstation 4 is around 109 GB in size. Rockstar Games had announced at the first presentation of the PC version that there should be technical improvements, but no further details. The larger space requirement on PCs could be due to finer-resolution textures - but actually the program would need much more memory.
Beginning October 23, players can pre-order at the Epic Games Store, Humble Store, and a host of other portals - but, as far as we know, not on Steam.

No, it's just year 2019. It's a huge open world with 4K textures. Even indie games nowadays can be 20-30GB large.

Especially with photogrammetry getting involved more and more, you end up with insane texture definition out of the box.

I can only hope that this huge disk space requirement is making the game indeed looking better... this is a lot of data... anybody know how much installation space the game takes up on consoles?

It was around 110GB on Xbox One X last I checked, but it could be more by now because game received many updates.

pretty sure it's still 107GB on consoles, keeping in mind they still have the 4K textures in the installation.

They should have released a base game for 1080p, and offer 4K textures for the other 1% of the world that uses 4K monitors.
The game might be 65GB then.

I seem to remember reading a while back that the bigger size is due to the sound files being uncompressed on PC because the PC doesn't have the dedicated chip to decompress sound on the fly but the consoles do... Could be way off though

This would make sense, and used to be like that with other games iirc. I'd favour such a solution tbh.

The game is this size because it's required to simulate the horse b*llocks accurately

Sorry I couldn't resist making a joke about the genital simulation in the game...

99GB on PS4, 107GB on XB1, 150GB on Steam. Seems legit.

High res textures also benefit lower resolutions. Also, 90GB wouldn't make up only textures. The game by itself is already very large.
And honestly, if you need to bargain for a couple dozen gigabytes in a game install, maybe you should just be buying more storage.

I just had no idea that it was getting released on PC finally. I don't give a rat's ass about HD space.

I'm feeling pretty good about the 2TB nvme drive I bought earlier this year (to load games from). Did I really need it? Well, 150GB!? Sheesh!
On a side note, I'm pretty stoked to play RDR2 on PC. I've never even played the first game (no consoles)
