Red Dead Redemption 2 Special Edition Rockstar Digital Key

An epic of the dying wild west

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in America, 1899, as the era of outlaws and lawlessness draws to a close. After a robbery in Blackwater goes wrong, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang flee across the rugged heartland of America, pursued by federal agents and bounty hunters. As the gang fractures from within, Arthur is forced to weigh his own ideals against his loyalty to the family that raised him.

Made by Rockstar Games, the studio behind Grand Theft Auto V and the original Red Dead Redemption, this is a story-driven action adventure with RPG-style depth, sitting comfortably among the best action games and RPG games on PC.

What the special edition adds

This Special Edition builds on the base game with extra Story Mode content and gameplay bonuses that give Arthur a head start out on the frontier.

• A Bank Robbery Mission and Gang Hideout content for Story Mode
• The Dappled Black Thoroughbred horse
• Talisman and Medallion gameplay bonuses
• Gameplay boosts, cash bonuses and discounts
• The Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit
• Free access to additional weapons

How this key works

This is a Global region key for Windows, redeemed on the Rockstar Games platform. Once activated it worldwide unlocks the game and its Special Edition content on your own Rockstar Games account, with support for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Red Dead Redemption 2 carries a PEGI 18 rating, reflecting its mature themes and violence.

Choosing the right edition

If you want the base experience without the bonus content, the Standard edition covers the core story. Players after everything Rockstar has bundled in, including the story expansion content, may prefer the Ultimate edition, which sits alongside other DLC and expansions for the game. Shoppers based in America should look at the US region key of this same Special Edition instead.
