Red Dead Redemption 2 players officially have even more reasons to log in for February 2026

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mainstay in gaming conversations, but as a 2018 release, many gamers may have played everything they were going to play by now. Instead, Rockstar fans likely have their eyes on the upcoming release of GTA 6. Between Rockstar's pedigree and Vice City's overall direction, it's easily one of the most anticipated games of all time. However, there's plenty of time between now and November 2026, meaning players still need something to sink their teeth into.

A new playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly a time investment, but at the same time it doesn't take much to convince someone to play it again. In fact, Rockstar does too.

It's the longest ride into the sunset I've ever seen, but make no mistake, do it now before the sun goes down completely.
