Red Dead Redemption 2 Awards: The Full Tally

1 min read

Four wins at The Game Awards was only the start. Across the year that followed, the ceremonies barely stopped calling its name.

The list of Red Dead Redemption 2 awards is long enough that no single ceremony defines it — the game swept across nearly every major show in the year after launch.

The Game Awards 2018

Four wins from eight nominations: Best Narrative, Best Score and Music, Best Audio Design, and Best Performance for Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan.

DICE Awards

A win for Outstanding Technical Achievement at the 22nd Annual D.I.C.E. Awards.

Game Developers Choice Awards

Best Technology at the 19th Game Developers Choice Awards, recognising the engineering underneath the game rather than its writing or design.

SXSW Gaming Awards

Three wins at the 6th SXSW Gaming Awards: Excellence in SFX, Excellence in Technical Achievement, and Trending Game of the Year.

BAFTA Games Awards

A strong showing at the 15th British Academy Games Awards, among the recognition the game picked up from critic and industry bodies across the board that year.

The scale of it

Across every outlet, festival and ceremony that handed out a Game of the Year award that cycle, RDR2's tally runs past 175 separate wins — one of the most decorated releases of its entire console generation.
