Red Dead Redemption 2 limited-time free download open for 24 more hours

You can claim free Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC but you only have 24 hours left to make it yours, so you need to act fast.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is considered by many to not only be the best game from Grand Theft Auto publisher Rockstar Games but it’s also considered to be one of the greatest games ever, as reflected by its 97 score on Metacritic.

Check out the Red Dead Online trailer below!

Taking place before the events of 2010’s Red Dead Redemption starring John Marston, 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2 tells the story of Arthur Morgan, a leading member of the ruthless Dutch Van Der Linde gang in the late 1890s.

You really should play the Red Dead Redemption series, if you haven't already. They not only feature compelling stories that will pull on your heartstrings but they each have two of the best open-world maps full of meaningful activities.

However, once you’re done with the single-player campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2, you can cause all sorts of shenanigans with its multiplayer offering, Red Dead Online.

Each month, Rockstar Games brings a new event to the world of Red Dead Online offering players exclusive free DLC, XP and currency bonuses simply by playing the game.

For example, by logging into Red Dead Online from now until the end of the month, you’ll be gifted with free in-game white Woodland Gloves.

Traders are set to prosper this month with Role bonuses in Red Dead Online.

What's more, by visiting Gus’s store, you’ll be given the ‘Good to See Ya’ emote and by completing the ‘Cripps Daily Stew’ mission, you will receive the ‘Civil War Battlefield Treasure Map’.

That is not all, because by completing five daily challenges, you will receive the tan Carbow Double Bandolier. However, you only have until 7 April 2025 to claim this free cosmetic item before it’s replaced with something new next week.

Red Dead Online is out now as a standalone game for PC, PlayStation and Xbox. It’s also included with Red Dead Redemption 2.
