Red Dead Redemption: The Timeless Wild West Epic Now Free to Claim for Millions

2 December 2025

In a move that has cowboys and outlaws across the UK reaching for their controllers, Rockstar Games has launched enhanced versions of the legendary Red Dead Redemption and its zombie expansion Undead Nightmare on modern platforms today – and for millions of players, it’s completely free to download and keep right now.

A Masterpiece Returns, Better Than Ever

Originally released in 2010, Red Dead Redemption remains one of the greatest video games ever made. You play as John Marston, a reformed outlaw coerced by federal agents into hunting down his former gang in exchange for his family’s safety. Set against the dying days of the American frontier, it’s a sweeping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption that still holds Metacritic scores in the mid-90s fifteen years later.

Bundled together is the beloved Undead Nightmare expansion – a full standalone campaign where Marston battles a zombie apocalypse across the cursed West. Together they deliver dozens of hours of unforgettable single-player storytelling.
