How Historically Accurate is Red Dead Redemption 2?

While 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid may not be completely historically accurate, it didn’t stop Rockstar Games from focusing Red Dead Redemption 2’s Dutch van der Linde and his gang on the real-life Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch. In fact, Rockstar took many influences around the game. We have a video here that digs deep in history.
