Yes, Red Dead Redemption 2's file size is absolutely huge, and yes, it's now been confirmed by Rockstar. Over on the game's official support page, both the disc install size and the download size are right there in black and white. Best start clearing off your hard drive, folks.
On PlayStation 4, the disc installation is going to set you back 99GB, and it's the same size digitally, although for the latter, you'll also need an extra 50GB free so that the installation process can take place.
So yeah, Red Dead 2 is about 100GB, making it, to our knowledge, one of the largest titles available on Sony's system. And with updates and Red Dead Redemption Online still to come, it's probably only going to get bigger.
Have you got enough room for this one? Tell us what's getting deleted in the comments section below.

AHHHHHHHHHH DELETE DELETE DELETE
No biggie. I''ll just nab it when I've cleared through most of my other games. It'll take a while to get a good price drop, anyway.
Nope. Not enough room for me, unfortunately. Gonna have to wait.
I hope we can choose not to install the multiplayer update since I only want to play the single player portion of the game.
I tend to remove games I'm not actively playing so I've got around 400gb free at the moment. A bigger problem is that I'm currently playing God of War, Yakuza 0 and Persona 5 so this may have to wait
I have a 2TB drive in my Pro so sure it will be fine:) but I would make room if I had a 200 GB drive! it is Rockstar they make some of the best games in the world.
F
Im actually gonna have to buy an external hdd this week. Any recommendations? 2tb minimum and cheapest possible. Thanks in advance
Time to kick Black Ops 3 (another huge game with all the updates it's had) to the curb
@Gunners85 if they're available where you are, Adata makes a good range of affordable portable hard drives. The drives themselves are actually made by Seagate, Toshiba, etc, with the enclosure and associated controller hardware made by Adata.
@Neolit good to know, I tend to just delete them as I've got pretty quick and unlimited internet but I'd rather have a solution like this so may give it a go
Ahhhhhh i want to get a 4tb external seagate drive for all these games as the sizes get bigger and bigger.
Do glad I put a 2tb hard drive in my ps4 pro
4TB hard drive here, it's all good 😌
i have about 2.4Tb free, i think, though i have zero interest in RDR2 so doesn't affect me in this case anyhow. the biggest game i can recall on ps4 is battlefield 4 which is about 85gb with all the patches/expansions. certainly nothing as big as this. there must be quite a few cuts scenes that are pre-rendered videos..
Elder Scrolls Online is 104gb
@Gunners85 I've got Seagate 4TB Usb3 for £89 from Amazon. Happy with it. Downloaded and installed all games I have and still a lot of storage free.
@DDJT So, you've connected 6x 2TB drives? Is it 12 TB now?
@Neolit my external HDD actually has faster loading times than my internal
Makes you. Wonder if the games on the next generation will have bigger file sizes. Also it's crazy these days to just not have an external HD. 500gb just wasn't enough or 1tb
Ready and waiting!...
There's going to be a few digital veterans being deleted from my hard drive to make way for this western behemoth.
Just started to download. 3 more hours to go ☺️. And one more week of waiting 😟
@Gunners85 Amazon has the Toshiba or the Seagate 2 terabyte hard drive for about $63
I only have 908GB available ☹ out of 2TB.
100 GB is never an issue, aside from the wait time to download and install.
@Neolit Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 load a bit faster since I moved them on my external HDD. I lost the paper where I noticed times, but I remeber it was something like 60 seconds against 80... If I have the time, I'll check it again today.
The game has installed, 92.76GB, its a beast.

Just finished downloading the pre-install on my Pro. 98.15GB. And that is excluding the pre-order bonus content and the special edition content. Those will download later, I guess?
I'ma go ahead and delete some games, just in case.
External hard drive purchased, and is waiting for the game to arrive. I am assuming it won't be the last game I buy, and I might want to revisit my old games.
@Neolit I never measured it but when I had Battlefield 1 on my internal harddisk I would allways be one of the last to join a new map, where as with the external harddisk I'm usually one of the first 10 people to join.
