Red Dead Redemption: Why You Should Start Over in 2026

It’s been nearly 16 years since Rockstar Games first released Red Dead Redemption, the studio’s ambitious open world western. Red Dead Redemption released to widespread critical acclaim, standing tall as one of the highest-rated games of 2010 and winning Game of the Year at the Spike VGAs, which was the precursor to the modern-day Game Awards. Red Dead Redemption is one of the most beloved video games of all time, and so while it’s always a good time to replay it, now is truly the perfect opportunity to give it another go.
