What's in the box

What Red Dead Redemption 2 is

Red Dead Redemption 2 was released by Rockstar Games in 2018 for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It is a prequel to the first Red Dead Redemption and is set in 1899, when the age of outlaws is ending. You play Arthur Morgan, a senior member of the Van der Linde gang, which is on the run after a robbery goes wrong. People who search for "Red Dead Redemption 2 Xbox One" or "RDR2 Xbox Series X" are looking for a long, immersive story in a huge open world.

You do not need to have played the first game, although fans will enjoy the connections. The story stands on its own, and it is told with great care.

The story and Arthur Morgan

The campaign follows the gang as it travels across the country, trying to find safety and money while the law and rival groups close in. Arthur is a complicated man who has to decide what he believes in as the gang's future becomes uncertain. The writing, the voice acting and the character moments are the reason many players call this one of the best stories in gaming.

It is a long story that takes its time. If you want an action game that rushes from one fight to the next, this is not it. If you like slow-building drama, it is outstanding.

An enormous open world

The world covers snowy mountains, swamps, plains, forests and towns. Wildlife moves through it, weather changes, and people go about their day. You can hunt, fish, play cards, explore ruins or simply ride your horse as the sun rises. Your horse has a bond with you, and looking after it is part of the experience.

The attention to detail is remarkable. Characters react to what you do, and small events can happen on the road without warning. This makes the world feel alive.

How it plays

The game uses a deliberate style. Movement is weighty, interactions take time and combat uses cover and a slow-motion aiming ability called Dead Eye. Many players enjoy the realism, while others find it slow at first. Give the game a few hours before you decide, because the pace is part of its character.

You will manage your horse, your weapons, your clothes and even your hunger, because the game cares about the details of a life in the wilderness. You can adjust the controls and the aiming in the settings to suit your taste.

Red Dead Online

Alongside the story, Rockstar released Red Dead Online, a separate multiplayer mode where you create your own character and share the world with other players. Online play needs an internet connection and, generally, an Xbox online subscription. Rockstar has changed this mode over time, and its content and availability can change, so we cannot promise what it offers today. Please treat the story campaign as the main reason to buy.

The single-player story works offline once the game is installed.

Install size and storage

This is a very large game. At release, the install on the Xbox One was over 100 gigabytes, and updates have added more. Before you buy, check how much free space your console has. Many Kenyan households have a console with limited storage, and you may need to delete other games to make room. An external hard drive can help on an Xbox One.

A disc version may come on more than one disc and still needs to install to the console. A digital version needs a long download, so check your data bundle and your internet speed. We confirm the format of the stock before you pay.

Is it suitable for children?

No. Red Dead Redemption 2 has a mature rating on the case. It contains strong violence, strong language and adult themes. It is not suitable for young children. Parents should check the rating and use Xbox family settings, and should be aware that the online mode includes contact with other players.

Playing it on your Xbox

This is an Xbox One game. It runs on the Xbox One family and can be played on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it, and you would need a digital copy. Keep your console on a surge-protected extension, because a power cut during a save can corrupt progress, and give the console space to cool during long sessions.

Getting started: your first hours

Take the opening slowly. The first chapters teach you the controls and introduce the gang. Learn to ride, to shoot and to use Dead Eye, and talk to the characters at camp. Do not rush into the open world before you finish the early missions, because they set up the story. Once you are free to roam, hunt a few animals, visit a town and discover how the world responds to you.

Save your game before important missions, and keep an eye on your horse's health and your weapons. A little care at the start saves frustration later.

Common questions before buying

Is this Red Dead Redemption 2 or the first game? This page is for Red Dead Redemption 2, the 2018 game for Xbox One.

Will it work on Xbox Series X and S? Yes, it can be played on Series X and S. A Series S cannot read discs, so a digital copy is needed there.

How big is the install? Over 100 GB at release. Check your free space first.

Do I need Xbox online? Not for the story. Red Dead Online generally needs a subscription.

Is it a disc or a digital code? We confirm this for the specific unit before you pay.

Is it suitable for children? No. It has a mature rating, so check the case.

Questions we hear often about Xbox games in Kenya

• Is it safe to buy a game from a shop in town? It is safe if you buy from a seller who shows you the item, gives you a receipt and explains the terms. We tell you whether the stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, before you pay.

• Will this game work on my Xbox? That depends on your console and on the edition. Tell us whether you own an Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Series X or Series S, and we will confirm. A Series S has no disc drive, so a disc will not play on it.

• Do you deliver in Nairobi and outside? Yes. Orders confirmed before 3pm are delivered the same day in Nairobi, and outside Nairobi we deliver by courier, typically 1 to 3 business days after dispatch. The delivery charge is confirmed before you pay, and M-Pesa is accepted.

• Is the game new? We list new items and show you the sealed pack. If a pack looks opened or damaged, tell us before you pay.

• Can you recommend what else I need? Tell us your console, your storage space and your budget. We would rather recommend one good game than sell you several you will not finish.

Looking after a very long game

A game this long deserves some care. Play in sessions, take breaks to rest your eyes and hands, and keep the console ventilated. Keep your saves safe by signing in to your Xbox account so that progress is backed up when possible. If your household shares the console, set up your own profile, so that no one overwrites your progress.

Many players say the game is best enjoyed slowly. Do not treat the story as a race. Sit back, ride and let the world surprise you.

Why this game is still talked about

Few games spend so much effort on small moments. A conversation by the campfire, a quiet ride at dawn or a sudden storm can be as memorable as a big mission. The soundtrack changes with the mood, and the world reacts to your choices. This is why people still discuss the game years after its release.

If you want a game that you can live in for weeks, rather than finish in a weekend, Red Dead Redemption 2 is among the best choices on the Xbox One. If your time is short, you may prefer a shorter game from our list.

Playing Xbox games in a Kenyan home

Most Xbox owners in Kenya play on a console in a sitting room or bedroom, often shared by family members of different ages. A few practical habits make the experience better. Plug the console into a surge-protected extension, because Kenya's power can spike when it returns after an outage, and keep the console where air can flow around it, never in a closed cabinet. Dust is a constant, so wipe the console and controller with a dry cloth and keep discs in their cases.

Games take space. Many modern games are tens of gigabytes, and an older game can still receive large updates. If your console is almost full, delete finished games and keep only those you play. A game you delete can be installed again later, as long as you have the disc or the licence, and your saved progress is kept on the console or in the cloud when you are signed in to your Xbox account.

Which Xbox does this game play on?

Xbox games are made for particular generations of console, and it helps to know yours. The Xbox One family includes the original Xbox One, the Xbox One S and the Xbox One X. The Xbox Series family includes the Series X, which has a disc drive, and the Series S, which has no disc drive. Many Xbox One games also run on the Series consoles through backward compatibility, and some run better there. Games made for the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox are a separate matter, and only some of them run on newer consoles.

The most important practical point is the disc drive. A Series S cannot read discs at all, so a disc version of a game is useless on a Series S, and you would need a digital version instead. If you own a Series S, tell us before you buy. If you own a Series X, an Xbox One S or an original Xbox One, discs work, subject to the compatibility listed on this page.

We list each game for the platform named on its page. Whether the item in stock is a disc or a digital code, and which edition, is confirmed per unit, so ask us before you pay and we will tell you plainly.

Online play, updates and your Xbox account

Some features need an internet connection. Online multiplayer on Xbox normally needs an Xbox account and, for most online multiplayer games, an active Xbox online subscription. Updates and patches download over your home connection. In Kenya, a fixed home fibre or a stable router connection is better than mobile data for large downloads, and you should check your data bundle before you start a large update.

Keep your account details private. Never share your password with a seller or a stranger. We do not need your account password to sell you a game, and you should be cautious about anyone who asks for it.

Age ratings and family settings

Games carry age ratings, such as ESRB and PEGI ratings, which guide whether a game suits a child. A rating is a general guide and does not replace a parent's judgement. Xbox has family settings that let a parent set age limits for games, set screen-time limits and manage spending. If children play on your console, take ten minutes to set up a child account, and talk with them about online safety, including not sharing personal details and what to do if a stranger is rude.

How to check your game when it is delivered

1. Inspect the packaging for damage before you sign. A disc game should be in a clean case with an unscratched disc.
2. Check that the title, the platform logo and the edition match what we confirmed with you.
3. If it is a disc, look at the disc surface for scratches, and check that the case includes the disc and any inserts we confirmed.
4. If it is a digital code, check that the code arrives intact and has not been used, and redeem it on your own account as soon as you can.
5. Install the game on your console and play for a few minutes, so that any problem shows up while you can still tell us.
6. Contact our Customer Relations team on 0794 488 806 straight away if anything is wrong.

How to avoid fake or unsuitable games

Game discs and codes can be copied or sold in the wrong region. Watch for these signs.

• Check the packaging and the print. Blurry artwork, spelling mistakes, a missing platform logo or a missing rating label are warnings.
• Check the disc. A genuine disc has sharp printing and consistent markings. A hand-written or blank disc is not genuine.
• Check the region and language. Some versions may be locked to a region or lack a language you want, so ask us.
• Watch the price. A price far below the market for a recent game is a reason to ask why.
• Be wary of shared accounts. Be careful of any offer to share an account instead of selling you a game of your own, because accounts can be recovered by their owners and you may lose access.
• Buy from a seller with an address. Choose a seller who gives a receipt and explains the warranty, and avoid paying a stranger before you have seen the product.

Warranty and stock

Warranty and return terms for games depend on the format and the seller, and opened games and redeemed codes are generally not returnable unless they are faulty. We confirm the format, the platform and the exact terms in writing for the specific item before you pay, and Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 handles questions after purchase. Keep your receipt and the case.

Compare before you buy

Compared with the first Red Dead Redemption. The first game is shorter and from 2010. This one is bigger, more detailed and slower.

Compared with Grand Theft Auto V. Both are Rockstar open-world games, but this one is a Western with a slow, serious tone.
