Despite its story taking place after the events of RDR2,Red Dead Redemptionwas the first title in the Redemption series. As such, it’s a smaller adventure than the one that features in RDR2. Not only is the map smaller, but the story is shorter.

That is not to say that Red Dead Redemption is a small game, though. This is a Rockstar title, after all. So, it takes a while to beat the main story and even longer to 100 percent it. Using data fromHowLongToBeat, here is how long finishing the story and 100 percent completing the game takes.
