Red Dead Redemption 2
About Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games' 2018 open-world action-adventure set in the twilight of America's Wild West era. Telling the story of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang, it's widely regarded as one of the genre's finest for its dense atmosphere, realistic NPC behavior, and attention to detail — from dynamic weather to horse care to characters' daily routines. Graphically, it remains one of the most demanding, most-benchmarked PC games years after release, making it a go-to reference title for testing real hardware performance. Its online mode, Red Dead Online, is also playable.
