Rockstar has been able to keep Red Dead Redemption 2 out of the hands of pirates for a long time now but after a full year, scene cracking groups have caught up. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 remained uncracked since launch until earlier today, when a group released their working, cracked version on torrent sites. At this point, other groups have re-uploaded it across a range of sites meaning this pirated version is going to be readily available for a long time.

We of course won’t be linking to any of these downloads, but it is interesting to note. Rockstar’s own DRM managed to keep Red Dead Redemption 2 piracy-free for longer than most, with only Denuvo rivalling it.

Unfortunately, this is likely going to have an impact on the game’s multiplayer, which already had issues with cheating. Hopefully Rockstar has been working on some stronger anti-cheat during this period of time.

KitGuru Says: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that is well worth its price tag and the time investment to finish it. If you can afford to buy it, then it has our recommendation.
