A Red Dead Redemption 2 player's fiancé deleted her progress, but her partner reportedly paid actor Roger Clark to help apologize for the mistake. Rockstar Games' hit game was released over seven years ago, but it continues to draw in tons of monthly players. The Red Dead Redemption 2 community is quite active as well, and cast members often interact with fans of the title, including the actor behind the protagonist.
Considered one of Rockstar Games' masterpieces, Red Dead Redemption 2 tells the story of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang in 1899's wild west America. The open-world offers players exploration, various missions, and a highly emotional main campaign. Decision-making also plays a role in Red Dead Redemption 2, as fans' choices will heavily alter Arthur Morgan's fate. For this reason, many fans spend several hours carefully crafting and saving their RDR2 runs. Unfortunately for one player, their Red Dead Redemption 2 progress was lost, but they might have received the greatest compensation imaginable.

It was immediately praised as a masterpiece when it launched in 2018, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is just as good today as it was back then.
Fiancé of Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Apologizes for Deleting Progress with Roger Clark's Help
Roger Clark, the actor behind Red Dead Redemption 2's beloved protagonist, revealed how a follower asked him on Cameo to record an apology for their fiancé. They stated the reason for the request was due to accidentally deleting her RDR2 run after she was already about two-thirds into its completion. Cameo is an app that lets fans hire their favorite celebrities to send personal videos for birthday wishes, shoutouts, advice, and more. On this occasion, however, Roger Clark would record himself sharing support for the "devastating loss" and emphasizing how sorry the player's fiancé was. Clark's Cameo rates begin at $159 per video, so the follower was likely willing to pay the price to make amends. "Let us all send this poor girl positive vibes," wrote the actor. "At least her man knows what he did."

The fiancé's instructions for Clark revealed that their partner was having a lot of fun making "every ethical decision," potentially aiming for a high-honor Red Dead Redemption 2 run. Roger Clark thanked his followers for their support on Cameo, teasing that while he enjoys all requests, it's cases like these that particularly excite him. Under the post, fans reacted to the player's loss with empathy and encouragement. "If Arthur Morgan cheers her up, she will be more than happy to restart her save file," wrote one user. Others were surprised at her fiancé's actions, with one wondering if they could "last as a couple."
Red Dead Redemption 2 remains one of the most popular yet longest open-world titles in recent years. Its main story alone can take fans between 50 and 60 hours to finish. Regardless, players have many reasons to begin a new RDR2 run. For example, even after dozens of hours of playthrough, fans may still miss major details of Red Dead Redemption 2's features, such as hidden character interactions. Starting a new RDR2 save also lets players explore new choices and see how Arthur Morgan's attitude towards his gang changes. On the other hand, some fans consider their first run to be special, and replaying the game is not to every player's liking.
Some industry insiders believe that a third Red Dead Redemption installment could be in development, but Rockstar Games has not shared any updates on the matter. The studio is likely prioritizing the release of the highly-anticipated GTA 6. However, rumors suggest Red Dead Redemption 2 could receive a next-gen upgrade in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Switch 2. The game remains one of Rockstar's most successful titles, as it surpassed 77 million copies sold in August 2025. Nevertheless, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation of a modern console release. It is worth noting that Rockstar continues to work on Red Dead Online as well, as it recently launched an update with extra weekly rewards in February, such as cosmetics and discounts on items.
