Red Dead Redemption is a 2010 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. A successor to 2004's Red Dead Revolver, it is the second game in the Red Dead series. Red Dead Redemption is set during the decline of the American frontier in the year 1911 and follows John Marston, a former outlaw who, after his wife and son are taken hostage by the government in ransom for his services as a hired gun, sets out to bring three members of his former gang to justice. The narrative explores themes of the cycle of violence, masculinity, redemption, and the American Dream.

Red Dead Redemption was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010, and for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in August 2023. It received critical acclaim for its visuals, music, performances, gameplay, and narrative. It won several year-end accolades, including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications, and is considered by critics as one of the best video games ever made. It had shipped around 23 million copies by 2021, making it one of the best-selling video games. After the game's release, several downloadable content additions were released; Undead Nightmare, later released as a standalone game, added a new single-player campaign in which Marston searches for a cure for an infectious zombie plague. A prequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, was released in October 2018.

In 1911, the family of former outlaw John Marston (Rob Wiethoff) is kidnapped by Bureau of Investigation agents, Edgar Ross (Jim Bentley) and Archer Fordham (David Wilson Barnes), who force him to hunt down his former gang members in exchange for his family's return. John first goes after former ally Bill Williamson (Steve J. Palmer), who now leads his own gang that terrorizes the residents of New Austin. He arrives at Williamson's stronghold at Fort Mercer, but fails to persuade him to surrender, resulting in John being shot and left for dead. Rescued by local rancher Bonnie MacFarlane (Kimberly Irion), he helps her with several jobs around her farm, while formulating a plan to attack Williamson's gang. John makes a number of allies to help him carry out the attack, including U.S. Marshal Leigh Johnson (Anthony De Longis), con artist Nigel West Dickens (Don Creech), treasure hunter Seth Briars (Kevin Glikmann), and an arms smuggler known as "Irish" (K. Harrison Sweeney). Ultimately, John and his allies storm Fort Mercer and kill all of Williamson's men but learn that Williamson has fled to Mexico to seek help from Javier Escuella (Antonio Jaramillo), another former ally of John. John parts ways with his allies and travels to Mexico.

Red Dead Redemption explores themes of the cycle of violence,[18] faith,[20] governmental control,[21] law and order,[22] the loss of innocence and freedom,[23] manifest destiny,[24] masculinity,[25] social change,[26] and redemption;[27] it also received commentary for its representation of Native Americans[28] and violence.[29] IGN's Erik Brudvig considered it a commentary on modern political issues such as racism and immigration;[30] writer Dan Houser said the story was not intended as a satire of contemporary America but parallels were inevitable due to the similarities of the time period.[23] Some scholars identified the game conforms to neoliberal values,[31][32] particularly in its depoliticizing of the sufferers of corporate greed,[33] though others felt it ridicules the selfishness of neoliberals.[34] Matt Margini described the narrative as a tragedy, citing Aristotle's proposal that the hero is neither good nor evil and "tragic heroes are tragic because they bring about their own fall, despite having good intentions".[35]

Several scholars noted that, despite the use of the word "redemption" in the game's title, such a feat was impossible for John;[20][27] Reid McCarter of Bullet Points Monthly described the use of the word as "bitterly ironic" due to the inability of reinvention for both the characters and the country.[27] Margini wrote the final chapter allowed the player to feel they had achieved the promised redemption,[36] only for it to be taken away by the story's end.[37] Conversely, Kotaku's Heather Alexandra felt John achieved his redemption upon sacrificing himself to save his family.[38] Benjamin J. Triana found that, while John's death "implies transcendence", it is not overtly sacrificial, nor does it represent John as a hero.[39] Gamasutra's Richard Clark considered the depiction of redemption to be "cynical and overly simple".[20] Red Dead Redemption also explores the impacts of the cycle of violence,[18] most notably represented through Jack's continuation of his father's failures by adopting the outlaw status.[19][40][41] NPR's Jason Sheehan considered the game a tale of "the senselessness of violence used to solve violence begetting only more violence".[42] M. Melissa Elston found that, like other modern media, it attempts to "reframe the violence and simplistic moral dualism of previous pop-cultural representations of the Old West".[43] The game drew some commentary for its depiction of violence; Margini considered it justifiable since "violence means something".[44] Timothy J. Welsh felt similarly, adding it is "just a game", but recognized the worrisome nihilism it could perpetuate if generalized.[45] Christopher Bartel rebutted this sentiment, expressing hesitancy at the moral justification of virtual murder and noting "even hard-core gamers might balk at virtual sadism".[46]

The game presents the ethos of the American Dream in its formation, in contrast with the modern-day representation in Grand Theft Auto IV (2008).[47] While John's violent past rendered him unable to achieve redemption, it also impacted his son's own ability to achieve the American Dream as he becomes an outlaw like his father.[27] The game also features commentary on freedom and control,[42] and the manner in which societal change acts as a catalyst for losing one's control and compromising their morality.[48] The journey from the open fields to the city of Blackwater represents civilization's control over the natural world, though the player lacks control during the opening sequence in which John leaves Blackwater, only gaining it when reentering the city later in the game.[21] While Red Dead Redemption grants the player freedom, they ultimately lack control over the narrative as "being free to do things is not the same as being able to change things", an ideology directly reflected in John's inability to prevent his own death.[49] Triana felt the ending allowed the player to properly understand John's rejection of a developing society and institutions due to the misery endured from the government.[50] The game also demonstrates the disparities of economic inequality;[51] Sara Humphreys identified a connection between MacFarlane's Ranch and the class conflict of Johnson County, Wyoming in the late nineteenth century.[52]

Downloadable content (DLC) for the game was released following its launch,[110] with focus on maps and game types suggested by the community.[111] Outlaws to the End, released on June 22, 2010, added six cooperative side missions for multiplayer. Legends and Killers was released on August 10, 2010, and added multiplayer characters from Red Dead Revolver, as well as new map locations and a Tomahawk weapon. On September 21, 2010, Liars and Cheats added competitive multiplayer modes, minigames, characters, and a weapon.[112] Hunting and Trading, released on October 12, 2010, added a jackalope to the game's world, and some additional outfits.[113] Undead Nightmare adds a single-player campaign, set in a non-canonical, zombie apocalypse-themed alternate reality with ghost towns and cemeteries full of zombies, wherein John searches for a cure to the zombie outbreak.[114] It was released on October 26, 2010, as DLC and in late November as a standalone expansion pack.[115] Myths and Maverick released for free on September 13, 2011, adding additional characters and locations to the multiplayer.[116] A Game of the Year Edition containing all downloadable content was released for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 11, 2011, in North America and on October 14, 2011, internationally.[117]

Microsoft added the game, along with Undead Nightmare, to its backward compatibility list for Xbox One, the successor to the Xbox 360, in July 2016;[118] Red Dead Redemption had been one of the most requested titles for the feature.[118][119] The game's sales position on Amazon.com spiked following the announcement.[119] The release runs at a smoother frame rate on the Xbox One.[120] In April 2018, the game received an update as an "Xbox One X enhanced" title, making it playable at 4K resolution (an increase from the game's original 720p resolution) with graphical improvements on the high-end revision of Xbox One, called Xbox One X.[121] The Xbox Series X and Series S can also play the game, with the higher-end Series X running it with its Xbox One X-specific enhancements.[122] Sony added Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare to its PlayStation Now cloud gaming subscription service in December 2016, which allowed them to be played on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows;[123] they were removed in October 2022.[124]

Red Dead Redemption received multiple nomination and awards from gaming publications. At the Spike Video Game Awards in 2010, the game received ten nominations and went on to win four awards: Game of the Year, Best Song in a Game ("Far Away"), Best Original Score, and Best DLC (Undead Nightmare).[164][165] The game led the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards with nine nominations and five awards, winning Action Game of the Year and Outstanding Character Performance for Wiethoff's portrayal of John Marston.[166][167] At the 11th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, Red Dead Redemption won four awards of five nominations, including Game of the Year and Best Game Design.[168][169] It received ten nominations at the 9th Annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards,[170] of which it won four: Audio of the Year, Music of the Year, Best Interactive Score, and Best Dialogue.[171] The game was not nominated for any of the jury-based awards at the British Academy Games Awards as Rockstar did not submit it for consideration.[172] The game appeared on several year-end lists of the best games of 2010, receiving Game of the Year wins from outlets such as 1Up.com,[173] Computer and Video Games,[174] Digital Spy,[175] Gamasutra,[176] Game Informer,[177] GameSpot,[178] GameSpy,[179] GamesRadar,[180] Good Game,[181] The Guardian,[182] Kotaku,[183] and VentureBeat.[184] 17dc91bb1f
