Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Western-themed action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. A prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption, the game is set in 1899 in a fictionalized representation of the Western, Midwestern and Southern United States and follows outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang. Arthur must deal with the decline of the Wild West whilst attempting to survive against government forces, rival gangs, and other enemies. The game was officially announced on October 18, 2016, and was widely anticipated.[1] It was nominated for Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards in 2016 and 2017,[2][3] and for Most Wanted Game at the Golden Joystick Awards.[4]
The game was released worldwide on October 26, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. Review aggregator Metacritic assigned the game a normalized score of 97 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim", based on 98 reviews for the PlayStation 4 version[5] and 33 reviews for the Xbox One version.[6] The game had the largest opening weekend in the history of entertainment, making over $725 million in revenue in three days, and selling over 17 million copies in total in two weeks.[7] Additionally, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the second highest-grossing entertainment launch (behind Grand Theft Auto V) and set records for largest ever pre-orders, largest first-day sales and largest sales for the first three days in market on PlayStation Network.[8][9]

Awards, including Game of the Year.[18]
At the 6th SXSW Gaming Awards, Red Dead Redemption 2 was named the Trending Game of the Year and won for Excellence in SFX and Technical Achievement.[19] The game received seven nominations at the 19th Game Developers Choice Awards,[20] and six at the 15th British Academy Games Awards.[21] The game also appeared on several year-end lists of the best games of 2018, receiving Game of the Year wins at the Australian Games Awards,[22] and Italian Video Game Awards,[23] and from Edge,[24] Electronic Gaming Monthly,[25] GameSpot,[26] The Guardian,[27] news.com.au,[28] The Telegraph,[29] USgamer,[30] and Vulture;[31] it was named runner-up by several other publications.[32][33][14]
