Here’s all you need to know about whether or not RDD 2 is out on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
Is Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
No, RDR 2 is not on Xbox Game Pass.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on October 26, 2018. Initially, it was launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but in November 2019, the game was also made available on PC (Microsoft Windows) through the Rockstar Games Launcher and other digital platforms like Epic Games Store, Steam, and the Rockstar Games Launcher itself. However, the game was an exclusive platform release and never made it to Game Pass.
Is Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC Game Pass?
No, RDR 2 is not on PC Game Pass.
There was no initial intention mentioned by Rockstar Games for its release on PC Game Pass. Red Dead Redemption 2, like its previous installment, was released directly on the platforms as expected.
Can you play Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2) via Game Pass?
Unfortunately, you cannot play RDR 2 via Xbox or PC Game Pass. This is because the publisher never allowed it to be released on Xbox or PC Game Pass and released it exclusively across platforms on their respective release dates.
The game’s description reads:
“America, 1899. The end of the Wild West era has begun. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan, and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal, and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.”
