Red Dead Redemption 2 Will Receive A Day One Patch, Rockstar Confirms

4.7
Red Dead Redemption 2 is already going to be an absolute behemoth – in more ways than one, but in terms of its file size, especially. But as is always the case, development on games doesn’t finish even after they’ve gone gold and been pressed onto discs. Developers keep polishing and refining their product further, a lot of which comes in the form of a day one patch on the day of release.

To no one’s surprise, that’s going to be the case with Red Dead Redemption 2 as well. As we all gear up for the launch of the hugely anticipated open world western epic, Rockstar have posted in an update on their site, in which, among other things, they’ve confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch with a day one title update.

“As is common for a game of this size and scope, there will be a downloadable title update addressing a number of last minute tweaks, bugs and fixes,” the update reads. “To ensure the best possible gameplay experience, we strongly recommend making sure you’ve downloaded this update before launching the game.”

The size of this update isn’t something they mentioned, so ideally, you should have your auto updates on, so that it’ll have finished downloading by the time the game’s available to play regardless. When will that be? October 26, but if you’re buying a physical copy from a Target store, you can get it a few hours earlier.

I'm glad I loaded the game digitally and had it pre-installed or installed when it came available. This game is massive (both size and content) and I am glad I got to delve right into it instead of waiting for an install bar to finish.

Not surprised, Most games receive updates of course, If they don't get the day one patch no one is gonna be able to play of course.

Well, it's worth doing it isn't it, for a game this size I wouldn't expect anything less lol.

Maze Not very surprising, seems like every game gets one these days


Took the words right from my mouth I just hope its not as large as recent games' day one update cause it sucks for people like me with slow internet.
