How many GB is Red Dead Redemption?

12 GB

That is more than the typical Shooter game, which needs about 8 GB.

The median Shooter game needs 4 GB; the largest tenth start at 40 GB.

Leave at least 20 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

A modern-day Western epic, Red Dead Redemption takes John Marston, a relic from the fast-closing time of the gunslinger, through an open world filled with wildlife, mini-games, and shootouts. Marston sets out to hunt down his old gang mates for the government, who have taken away his family. Along his journey, he meets many characters emblematic of the Wild West, heroism, and the new civilization.
