Those interested in starting their journey in the Red Dead Redemption series may wonder what the best order to play the games is. The release order for the games is not in chronological order, with Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) being presented as a prequel to Red Dead Redemption (2010). Although there are positive reasons for different play orders, one stands out above the rest as the superior way to play through this open-world adventure series. Getting into the series is not so intimidating when played a certain way, and the games can easily capture the hearts of new players.
