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?
