Is Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
Why Red Dead Redemption 2 is not on Game Pass, and what that costs you
The short version is above. The longer version is worth two minutes, because “not on Game Pass” is not one situation — it is several, and they have different answers.
A title can sit outside the catalogue because its publisher never put it there, because it was in and has since rotated out, or because it is too new. Microsoft publishes a membership list, not a reason, so we will not guess which applies to Red Dead Redemption 2. What we can tell you is what the list says today, and it does not include it.
That makes buying the practical route, and R287.25 is what the Microsoft Store charges in South Africa right now. Two things move that number and both are worth checking before you pay. Store prices are set market by market, and the spread is often larger than any sale — the table below ranks every region we track. And if you already subscribe, Game Pass members are frequently offered a discount on Store purchases, applied at checkout rather than shown in the listed price, so the figure here is the ordinary price anyone pays.
The other honest answer is that a subscription may still be the better buy — just not for this game. If you are weighing one purchase against a month of Ultimate, the arithmetic is on our Game Pass prices page, and the catalogue itself is what a subscription would actually get you.

FAQ
Is Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
No. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not in the Xbox Game Pass catalogue as we last read it, so a subscription does not include it — you would need to buy it to play. Catalogue line-ups change every month, and this page follows them.
How much does Red Dead Redemption 2 cost to buy?
Red Dead Redemption 2 costs R287.25 on the Microsoft Store in South Africa if you want to buy and keep it instead of using Game Pass.
Where is Red Dead Redemption 2 cheapest to buy?
The cheapest Microsoft Store region for Red Dead Redemption 2 is India at about $13.86 USD.
Will Red Dead Redemption 2 come to Xbox Game Pass?
We do not know, and neither does anyone outside Microsoft. Titles are added to the catalogue every month with no advance list, and nothing in the data we read predicts it. This page follows the catalogue, so if Red Dead Redemption 2 is added it will say yes here.
Can I play Red Dead Redemption 2 with Game Pass Ultimate?
Not through the catalogue. Ultimate includes the Game Pass library, cloud gaming and EA Play, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is in none of those as we last read them, so buying it is the way to play it. Ultimate can still cut the price — members are often offered a discount on Store purchases, applied at checkout.
