Red Dead Redemption 2 becomes free but only for 24 hours, then it will be too late



A leak relayed by the Brazilian site MixVale evokes a “supposed list of free games” for the Christmas campaign Epic Games Storein which Red Dead Redemption 2 would be available for only 24 hours PC. A slot to recover without paying the western of Rockstar Games.

Nothing is official yet, but this rumor sticks to the “one free game per day” format that Epic deploys regularly, with a 24-hour window to claim each title. The issue is clear: if it is good Red Dead Redemption 2 which concludes the campaign, you will have to be ready at the right time.

Red Dead Redemption 2 free 24 hours: credible rumor or false hope?

According to MixVale, Red Dead Redemption 2 would arrive at the very end of the campaign on the Epic Games Storein a series of PC games offered successively for one day. At this stage, neither Epic Games neither Rockstar Games have not confirmed this list, which therefore remains an unofficial leak. The scenario, however, seems realistic: Epic has already offered recent AAAs for a limited period, and Rockstar is increasing the number of temporary content from the horror pack. Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1 free 48 hours PlayStation, Xbox And PC to events Red Dead Online detailed by ScreenRantwith RDO$, gold, XP and cosmetics distributed over a few days.

No PC or missed offer: what options to play Red Dead Redemption 2 ?

If the gift remains limited to PC or if you miss the window, there are other levers to approach the game universe.

Keeping an eye on the official Rockstar blog and subscription catalogs like PS Plus Extra can hold some nice surprises, but if the 24-hour free offer from Epic Games Store materializes, this will be the best opportunity to recover the complete game without taking out the bank card.
