Better Get A Headstart On That Red Dead Redemption 2 Preload

By Keith MitchellOctober 17, 2018
Red Dead Redemption 2

It’s going to take a while to download, better start downloading, partner

Previously we talked about the fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be at or surpass 100GB on both the PS4 and Xbox One. Meaning that this game is going to take a very long time to download if you’re picking it up digitally.

Thankfully, Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have announced when you’ll be able to pre-load the game. Starting on Oct. 18, both PS4 and Xbox One gamers will be able to start downloading the game.

Pre-order now on digital and begin pre-loading this Friday at 12AM ET: https://t.co/dvyUu5JJSO pic.twitter.com/76FjGrLwUr

So we highly recommend you get a start on that. The sooner the better, as you know full well that once the game is available, the download servers will be packed.

Red Dead Redemption 2 releases on Oct. 26, 2018, for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
