Here’s everything you need to know about the Red Dead Redemption 2 app including its size, its features, its cost, and more.

What is the Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App?

As the name implies, the Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 app is meant to serve as your companion as you play through Arthur Morgan’s story.

Once you download the app, you can connect it with your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One as you play and it will deliver real-time interactive information on your phone or tablet. You can:

• Pan and zoom the map.
• Set waypoints or mark areas of interest with a tap on your device’s display.
• Look at Arthur Morgan’s core info and stats in real-time.
• Use the app in place of the in-game HUD.
• Examine Arthur’s in-game Journal.
• Track your stats through Social Club.
• Look at the full digital game manual.
• Use an optional digital version of the Red Dead Redemption 2 official strategy guide.

How Much Does the RDR 2 App Cost?

Like GTA 5’s iFruit app, the Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app is free to download for all platforms.

Can My Device Run the Red Dead Redemption 2 App?

Rockstar says the Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app is available for most iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) and Android devices.

The RDR 2 app requires a device running iOS 8 or later and is compatible with the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and most of Apple’s iPad models.

If you’re still rocking a Windows Phone, you won’t be able to download the app to your phone or tablet. We don’t expect a version for Mac or Windows.

Is the Red Dead Redemption 2 App Safe for Kids?

The Red Dead Redemption 2 companion application is rated 17+ which means you’ll want to try it yourself before determining whether or not it’s safe for your teenager. Parents may need to approve it if content restrictions are setup.

The app features frequent and intense realistic violence, infrequent/mild sexual content and nudity, infrequent/mild mature/suggestive themes, infrequent/mild simulated gambling, and infrequent/mild alcohol, tobacco, or drug use or references.

Red Dead Redemption 2 App Size

The Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app is a sizable download. If you’re installing the app on an iOS device, the RDR 2 app requires 210.2MB of space.

If you plan to use the app, we recommend digging into your storage. If you don’t have a ton of free space available, you’ll need to clear out at least 210MB of space for the app to install properly.
