Red Dead Redemption 2 Install Time Revealed and It’ll Take a Really Long Time

The Red Dead Redemption 2 install time on PS4 is so long that you can watch a movie before you can play it.

UltraNova2419d ago

So what? Are people that impatient these days? Dear God...

Nitrowolf22419d ago

1 hour and 20min isn’t to bad tbh

I’ve waited 8 years for this game to release I can certainly wait a couple more hours.

Iirc gta5 look me about half and hour roughly

playnice2419d ago

It's totally worth the wait... Meanwhile I miss the days when gaming on a console meant you insert the cartridge or disc and boot the game up.

Skull5212419d ago

Games already installed and ready to go, yet another victory for digital.

1nsomniac2419d ago (Edited 2419d ago )

It took me 83 mins in total to download it in full & install it digitally. How can it take longer copying a hard copy from a disc??

PowerOfTheCloud2419d ago (Edited 2419d ago )

Skull

I have mine already and played approx 1/2 hour. Win for physical i'd say

Skull5212419d ago

Na what you got there is a broken street date, that’s something someone can be sued for.

joab7772419d ago

I was worried I should start it now.

Yea man, we miss the days of getting a game and playing it as soon as it’s in the console.

Concertoine2419d ago

Best thing about the Switch tbh.

Nu2419d ago

I got the digital version so it was downloaded while I slept

DaMist2419d ago

That is a little crazy though haha was there any other game that took this long to install this Gen. The last I remember was mgs4 on ps3.

THEDON82z12419d ago

Already locked and loaded on my PRO!

thepluggy2419d ago

Dear God Ultranova, maybe you should just shut the hell up.

deafdani2419d ago

I am. I miss those days where I could just insert a cartridge and BAM!.... no wait, it's borked, gimme a second *takes out cartridge, shakes it up fiercely, blows onto it like a maniac, then carefully and sloooowly inserts it barely touching the pins, boots the game with fingers crossed and...* YES IT'S RUNNING NOW

Ok, it took a few tries, but not 1.5 hours. Lol.

Seriously now, I'm a married dude with a kid and very, very little time. I could see how this install could be upsetting for someone that gets home from work and maybe doesn't really have that much time available before going to bed, in which case yes, an 1.5 hour wait can be disappointing because for that person it would basically mean he won't really get to enjoy the game until the next day.

BrettAwesome2418d ago

That's what you get for living in...let me guess...America? Shitty wages and long work days... and then you die because you can't afford healthcare

deafdani2418d ago

@Brett: nope. Costa Rica.

(Which is part of America, but it's not the U.S, which is what you meant to say).

rainslacker2418d ago

I'm not. I watched this video in its entirety. All 84 minutes of it. It's the only way I could verify that the install would take a very long time, and such a matter was extremely important for me to know before I buy the game.

Cool, that means we have time to watch lord of the rings trilogy, again!

excaliburps2419d ago

LOL! I can have a sandwich, take a shower, take a nap and still wake up in time for this,

playnice2419d ago

Better do that before you boot the game anyway... Might be hard to put the game down after :P

Nu2419d ago

*fap is another alternative too.

rainslacker2418d ago

You can install and play another game at the same time can't you?

Relientk772419d ago

Nothing wrong with that, amazing films.

shaun mcwayne2419d ago

The best, my daughters pet chihuahua is called Frodo Baggins.

2419d ago
Rude-ro2419d ago

Want me to ruin the films for you?
Do a shot every time Frodo looks constipated or falls down....
Then you realize the film is about a hobbit that is constipated and has no balance.
🙊

LostinthePANIC2419d ago

@prettygoodgamer Stark Trek not boring in comparison to LotR? I understand everyone has different taste, but to me that statement is hilarious

To each their own.

@prettygoodgamer lol only boring if your not into medieval fantasy masterpieces

LostinthePANIC2419d ago (Edited 2419d ago )

Moved post 😑

cfc832419d ago

If you stream a movie, it will slow down your dload.

isarai2419d ago

Its copying off the disc, not downloading

raWfodog2419d ago

It may feel like torture for some that want to play as soon as possible. But even when I finally do pick it up, I'll have no problem starting the download and then run out and take care of some errands and some yard work. Afterwards, it'll be my reward :) Waited this long for it, I can wait a little more.

Jinger2419d ago

Well all I'll need to do is download the 3GB patch when I start up the game since it's already preloaded. Digital for the win!

Godchild10202419d ago

Question. The digital version gets released at 12am est?

Preload started last week.

Jinger2419d ago

Yes so since I'm west coast I unlocks for me at 9pm

Matrix62419d ago

It appears that the patch was already downloaded and installed before the launch time. Mine was at 1.02 and there was nothing to download when I started the game.

rainslacker2418d ago

You don't need the patch to start playing do you? Most games can play without the day one patch...otherwise, they shouldn't even be released. I usually just play games while patches download, then install them the next time I start the game.

RaidenBlack13h ago

*Remaster
not Remake
People still confuse the terms in 2025.

CrimsonWing696h ago

It kills me that at this point they still can’t. Like when people complain that The Last of Us has too many Remasters… when they literally have 1 and then a PS5 Remake 🤦‍♂️

Lionsguard10h ago

Sure, in 15 years maybe. I'm playing it right now and it looks better than most games today.

mkis0077h ago

I think it's not too much to ask for a current gen native version, like we got for gta 5

Lionsguard6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

That's not really a remaster or a remake, it's a patch at most.

Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Is Real, Out This Year

The possibility of a PS5 version for Red Dead Redemption 2 just became a bit more realistic, as the very reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed in his latest predictions podcast that a next-gen version of the Rockstar open worlder is in the works.

On the podcast, he said: "Those rumours are true. Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update and the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year." They go on to say that they were told the new versions will launch "a few months" after Switch 2's release, which is tomorrow. They then speculate a late summer / early fall launch window.

Please please please. My dualsense needs this game.

Aloymetal3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Yup, this game needs that sweet 60fps treatment. Can't wait I hope this is real.

andy853d ago

Be rude not to give it another play. Definitely won't be going for the platinum this time. That was hell 😂

lukasmain2d ago

Lol it was even harder at launch. It took me a very long time. Apparently I've heard they made it easier getting the gold medals for missions in some way. But at launch time it was a pain because after you finish the story and go back to play missions to get the medals, you lose all your perks and abilities, your dead eye level and guns everything etc. You just have the stock standard bare minimum with crap guns. If I had have known they were going to do that, I would have made sure I got gold medals when I was playing the story. But I got it in the end. Pretty sure the trophies would auto-pop on a PS5 version

Cacabunga2d ago

Yes you are right.. you equipment from the main game carried on when you go for gold medals which is always something!
Also the fact you don’t need to get gold on every mission is the big thing.

Still a massive plat and one of the few I am very happy to possess

jznrpg3d ago

Nice! I’ll add it to my collection

aaronlif103d ago

I sincerely hope we finally get a next gen update to this game. It is long overdue. I'd love to see ray tracing and enhanced lighting get added. Perhaps more npc's or animals, ect.
