With Red Dead Redemption's highly anticipated PC release just around the corner, Rockstar Games has officially begun the pre-load phase, giving fans a head start ahead of the launch. This initial rollout means PC players, who have waited over a decade to experience the classic western on high-end hardware, can now pre-load the game on the Rockstar Games Launcher. NVIDIA has also stepped in with a new graphics driver to support the game's visuals, setting the stage for an enhanced gameplay experience.
Game Download Size and Platforms The game's download size was first reported by a GTA forums user named Cordohen , revealing that it takes up around 9GB on the Rockstar Games Launcher. This matches the size of last year's PS4/PS5 versions, as anticipated by fans. A launcher update from Rockstar is also required before players can proceed with the download, ensuring all systems are ready for the game's release.
