Red Dead Redemption II Is a 90GB Download on Xbox One, 105GB on PS4

It was revealed last month that Red Dead Redemption II would require a 105GB install on PlayStation 4, and now, the Microsoft Store is showing the title will require approximately 88.57GB on Xbox One. It isn't clear why there is a 16GB disparity, but Red Dead fans who are tight on storage, regardless of which console they own, may now prepare accordingly. While that may be smaller than PS4's listed size, there could be reasons for this. For one, it's not clear if "Approximate Size" is listing the download size (the size of all the files users download from the servers, which are often compressed) or the install size (the files as they actually are, after the installer has uncompressed them). A size difference of about 16GB would be in line with the average difference between download and install sizes.
