Red Dead Redemption 2 is every open world fan’s dream come true. A massive world with plenty of things to do in it. You can fish, people. This is not a drill. With all that there is to do in this tremendous world, though, there’s a burning question in fans’ minds. How big is the download size (or install size)? Don’t worry, we have the answer. Here’s how big Red Dead Redemption 2’s download size and file size is.

For fans looking to download their new favorite Rockstar game, they’re going to need a ton of space. The download size for Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out to 105 GB. Crazy file size, right?

If you’re looking to get RDR2 on disc, then you’ll be perfectly fine, of course. Otherwise, it’s time to start deleting files off your PS4.

Every little bit counts when the game’s file size is so massive.
Or, you know, get yourself additional external storage. Here’s how to upgrade your PS4 hard drive. If you’re made of money, invest in a bigger version of the PS4 you have (PS4 Pro includes quite a bit of space at 1TB by default).

There you have it! Pretty hefty, right? That’s how big the download size (or file size) for Red Dead Redemption 2 is. For more tips, tricks, and information on Rockstar’s latest game, be sure to check out our comprehensive Red Dead Redemption 2 guide wiki.
