Red Dead Redemption 2 requires 150GB of free space on PS4
It's not every day that we write about a console game, however, we noticed something with Red Dead Redemption 2 that I found baffling as Red Dead Redemption 2 requires about 149GB of free space on the PS4 to be installed.
The game itself takes 99GB and with installation, without a disc the game requires 50GB extra. For the Xbox One, the required space is 107GB, Rockstar writes on a support page.
Red Dead Redemption 2: Installation Requirements
Answer: The amount of space required to install Red Dead Redemption 2 depends on the platform you are using, and the method of installation:
Disc Installation:
- PS4 - 99 GB installation space
- Xbox One - 107 GB installation space
Digital Installation:
- PS4 - 99 GB installation space with an additional 50GB for the installation process
- Xbox One - 107 GB installation space
That is bat-dropping crrrrraaazy. Red Dead Redemption 2 will appear on October 26th. The game is the sequel to Western game Red Dead Redemption from 2010. In it, players like John Marston went through a story as they explored the United States and Mexico.

this is primarily because rockstar are lazy and don't implement language selective installation.

Who cares, modern consoles have 1TB HDD, even if they had less space, if you're playing this game, you're not playing any other game so you might as well make the available space.
The more important question is when will it be launched on PC. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks shooting with a controller is not an experience I want to have for 120+ hours.

Have you checked XBox download speeds? It's not exactly Steam :p PC gamer sees a 100GB game on Steam, "meh, OK, I'll just grab something to eat first." XBox gamer on the other hand thinks about what he's gonna play the next couple of days while it downloads.

You get the 50gb back once the download is done though to be fair. Doesn't effect the disc version either

What's baffling about it exactly? Games are getting bigger and bigger, often 80-100gb easily now. I don't find this baffling at all. Seems quite big but it's to be expected really, with a huge game like this. Games aren't going to get smaller

I don't believe it's being released on PC. Just like the first game. People want it on PC but I've yet to see any confirmation it will ever happen

Eh? Download speeds don't have anything to do with the console, but your connection. Pretty sure MS servers are more than capable of delivering at whatever speed your connection can handle

Not exactly, with the law of removing of copper wiring from house since 2017 and the optical service it take around half an hour to download in bad internet condition... so it's just more "popcorns or peanuts" instead

To me, the size of the game isn't the problem. My personal gripe is how you have to basically use up the same amount of disk space regardless of whether you do a digital DL or use the Blu Ray. And I'm sure that if you get the disc, you're going to have to keep it in the console in order to play the game. As far as I'm concerned, if you're required to have a disc, you might as well use it to free up as much space on the internal storage as possible. In doing so, you'd shave off a lot of time in prepping the game before being able to play it, you'd save a lot of disk space, and (if done properly) it'll actually improve load times, since the game can read from 2 different data sources simultaneously. The vast majority of the game's data is stuff that won't be replaced by updates, so a lot of that could be loaded on the disc. Maybe some resources (like high-res textures) would be best stored on the internal storage, since loading that from a disc would take too long.
But whatever. Not my problem - the last consoles I owned were a Sega Genesis and Gameboy Color.

What the Hell? France banned copper wiring? What are you using instead? Back to aluminium? What about copper heatsinks?

This is just nuts, I wouldn't buy such game.
Developers should start customizing the download offering to chose the language and at least texture pack for 4K or something.
Often games appear repacked by pirates with less than half the size and all features, this is nuts!

I don't want to get in trouble for talking about shady things.......so i will just say one thing. I bet the repack is half that size or less.

edit : misread the post
so I'll just say that apparently it's the biggest gta-like world made this far which would explain especially if there's a ton of audio dialogs
on pc the game I had to uninstall due to space was doom the game takes like 80Gb and when they updated it that wasn't even enough, too much for my SSD
