Red Dead Redemption 2 is possibly one of the most popular video game titles of all time. Rockstar Studios brought the western action-adventure epic to gamers in 2018 and it has been a success ever since. While it can be fun to play as cowboy protagonist, Arthur Morgan, wandering the dangerous terrain on your trusty steed and fighting vicious enemies, it can also be a bit lonely. Although some players may be happy to meet up with friends in the online side of the game, there are others who want more than the multiplayer experience.
