Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will eat up a massive amount of space
Rockstar Games has revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs for Red Dead Redemption 2 ahead of its November 5 launch, and they’re relatively tame aside from one notable requirement: hard drive space. The game will require at least 150GB of free space, which is right up there with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s potential 175GB requirement on PC.
