The file size of the Switch port of Red Dead Redemption has been revealed, confirming that players will need 11.4 GB of free space to install the game. Red Dead Redemption is one of the highest-rated games of the PS3 and Xbox One generation, as it has a score of 95 on Metacritic.
Rockstar Games recently confirmed that Red Dead Redemption will be released on PS4 and Switch on August 17, bringing it to relatviely newer platforms. A previous rumor suggested that Red Dead Redemption would be remastered or remade for modern systems, but it looks like the game will be simply ported over to these machines. The file size of the Switch version of Red Dead Redemption has now been revealed, giving users a better idea about the amount of free space they will need.
As reported by Nintendo Life, information on the Nintendo Switch eShop and website confirms that Red Dead Redemption will take up 11.4 GB of storage on the console. Fans should note that this version of Red Dead Redemption contains the Undead Nightmare DLC, which also received positive reviews when it came out. On the other hand, the online multiplayer component will not be a part of the Switch and PS4 versions of the game.
11.4 GB is fairly reasonable, as games on the Nintendo Switch generally don’t take too much space, especially when compared to the storage requirements of some current-generation titles. Looking at Nintendo Switch exclusives, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up 15.9 GB of space, with Bayonetta 3 requiring 15 GB. The file size of the PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption is currently unknown, and it’ll be interesting to see how it compares to the Switch edition.
While there appeared to be a ton of hype for a potential remake of Red Dead Redemption, the port’s announcement received backlash from the player base, with fans flooding the game’s reveal trailer with dislikes. There are a few different reasons for users’ complaints, with the $49.99 asking price for what appears to be a port being one of the biggest issues. Some fans are also disappointed by the lack of a native PS5 version, along with the absence of a PC release.
Red Dead Redemption is out now for PS3 and Xbox 360 with PS4 and Switch versions releasing August 17.
