Someone has finally cracked Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC

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.

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
