Despite its story taking place after the events of RDR2, Red Dead Redemption was the first title in the Redemption series. As such, it’s a smaller adventure than the one that features in RDR2. Not only is the map smaller, but the story is shorter.

That is not to say that Red Dead Redemption is a small game, though. This is a Rockstar title, after all. So, it takes a while to beat the main story and even longer to 100 percent it. Using data from HowLongToBeat, here is how long finishing the story and 100 percent completing the game takes.
How Long Does It Take To Complete?
The main story of Red Dead Redemption lasts around 18 hours. However, this is an open-world game with plenty of things to do outside of the main story.
Therefore, most people’s playthrough takes longer than 18 hours. In fact, for people who do the main story and some side stuff, their playthroughs typically take around 26 hours.
How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent?
To 100 percent complete Red Dead Redemption, you will have to clear all gang hideouts, find some special horses, complete challenges, unlock outfits, and more.
All of it will take you around 46 hours to finish, depending slightly on how efficient you are.
How long Does It Take To Complete The Undead Nightmare DLC?
The main expansion for Red Dead Redemption is the zombie-filled adventure known as Undead Nightmare. Beating the story of it takes around seven hours.
Yet, like with the main game, there is some additional content in the DLC, too, such as creatures to find and territories to help. In fact, it has a separate completion percentage. To achieve 100 percent, you will need to spend around 13 hours with the downloadable content.
