Red Dead Redemption 2 is an ambitiously large game, and it will accordingly require ample space on your hard drive, regardless of whether you’re buying it digitally or physically. Before the game launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next week, you’ll want to clear at least 99 GB of space to make room.

The sequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption, it will be the third entry in the Red Dead series, you can download more free games from Ocean of Games Red Dead Redemption 2 Development Red Dead Redemption 2 is developed by Rockstar Studios. Rockstar Games announced the game on October 18, 2016, with the first trailer being released on October 20. Gamers excited for the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 were in for a bit of a. Owners will likely even need more space if they want to download the game's 4K. Via external hard drives and titles can be easily uninstalled to free up space.

According to Rockstar Games’ support website, here’s how much storage space you’ll need:

Disc Installation

PS4 - 99 GB installation space
Xbox One - 107 GB installation space

Digital Installation

PS4 - 99 GB installation space with an additional 50 GB for the installation process
Xbox One - 107 GB installation space

PlayStation 4 owners will only need that combined 149 GB of installation space during Red Dead Redemption 2’s download and installation process; the 50 GB required for that process will be freed up after the game is installed. Those who pre-order the game will be able to start the pre-load process on Oct. 19 at 12 a.m. ET, according to a tweet from Rockstar Games.

Update (Oct. 19): The PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 will ship on two Blu-ray Discs, according to a Tweet from YouTube content creator Kofi. One of those discs is labeled the “Data Disc” while the other is labeled the “Play Disc,” a solution that helps explain how Rockstar is fitting 99 GB worth of game data into the physical version of the game.

Last thing I’m going to speak on since people are just dying to know. Red Dead Redemption 2 does have a double disc. The first disc is a “Data Disc” and the second is a “Play Disc”. Probably have to just install first disc. Game does come with a map which I will not share. pic.twitter.com/VnIq2HF8zf

Kofi’s tweet appears to confirm reports that Red Dead Redemption 2 will ship on two discs, based on details from the Japanese version of the game’s packaging. We’ve reached out to Rockstar Games for additional detail.

If the Red Dead Redemption 2 physical version requirements didn’t give you a hint, you’re going to need to free up a lot of space on your PS4 and Xbox One drive.

Less than a month ago, the promo package art for the Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro bundle revealed that the game requires 105GB of free space on the drive.

At the time, people assumed the download size for the digital version may end up being smaller than physical, since installation from the disc often requires more space during the process, much of which can be reclaimed after installation is done.

Unfortunately, the digital download is not too far behind. Earlier this week, the Xbox store page for Red Dead Redemption 2 was updated with the file size. The download comes in at a whopping 88.56GB.

The requirement is very similar on PS4, at 89.2GB. This can be seen the Red Dead Redemption 2 page on the PlayStation Store, but only when browsing it through the console. The web version has yet to be updated.

If those numbers are making you sweat a little, know that you can preload Red Dead Redemption 2 from Friday if you’ve pre-ordered it.

The download is a fair bit larger than many of today’s games, but it’s not completely out of the ordinary. Gears of War 4, Forza 7 and others launched with close to 100GB downloads, and have only gotten bigger with patches and DLC.

Still, for many with just the standard 500GB or even 1TB drives in their consoles, it may prove tricky to free up all that. It’s not yet clear if Red Dead Online, which enters public beta in November, will itself add to these file sizes.
