Additional horse breeds
The ability to change your character’s appearance without resetting progress

Additional game balancing and improvements

Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped over 25 million units worldwide since its PS4 and Xbox One release in October 2018, according to publisher Take-Two.

In June, the company’s CEO Strauss Zelnick gave the clearest indication yet that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on PC.
