Reported over on Gamespot. Sony has somehow got Red Dead Online as a timed exclusive for 30 days. Wow. How much money has Sony paid for this?

@marcsman:Don't misquote news like this.

From Gamespot which quotes https://rockstarintel.com/2018/09/26/ps4-users-to-get-exclusive-rdr2-online-content-30-days-before-xbox-users/:

On the Bundle, it also says ‘Timed Exclusive for 30 days’ then goes on to say for ‘Online Content.’ We were aware PlayStation users were getting Exclusive content, this now confirms that PS4 Users will be getting content 30 days early. Red Dead Redemption 2 will also require a minimum storage space of 105GB.

So basically, there is online content, some of which is Playstation Exclusive for 30 days.

Lets not gloss over the fact that Red Dead 2 requires 105GB of Hard drive space.....That is absolutely absurd

@atastyslurpee: GTA 5 currently takes up 75gb and that game doesn't have 4K textures. The 105gb is likely from that and hopefully is an optional install if you don't have an PS4 Pro. People want pretty games but that takes up space. It is a BIG world and there is probably a lot of voice acting and game music. Final Fantasy 15 takes up more space than RDR2 not including the 4k textures. This is just something people are going to have to get used to in AAA games to come.

@puchiko: I was thinking that Red Dead online might be a separate install/download as well, but yeah I'd wager a lot of that is 4K textures, but I'd say its probably a 50GB or so download.
