Rockstar Games is giving Red Dead Redemption 2 fans a spooky reason to log back into Red Dead Online this Halloween. The developer has announced a batch of free in-game clothing items available for a limited time — perfect for players who want to ride into the night looking every bit the haunted outlaw.
Red Dead Online Halloween Freebies 2025
Rockstar revealed the event on its official website, inviting players to “unleash their inner ghoul” with a sinister new outfit set. Players can now claim the Swine Mask from Madam Nazar, along with a few eerie fashion pieces from the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue — all completely free.
Here’s what you can claim:
- 🐷 Swine Mask
- 👕 Stringham Shirt
- 👖 Cuffed Town Pants
- 👢 Hightop Moccasins
This Halloween collection might not come with an in-game event or limited-time missions, but it still lets fans dress the part and roam the frontier in eerie style. It’s a small but welcome nod to the spooky season.
A Missed Opportunity for More Horror?
While the freebies are a fun treat, some fans (myself included) can’t help but wish Rockstar would lean harder into Halloween. Imagine if we got a full-blown event with ghost hunts, zombie invasions, or mysterious cults lurking in the fog.
Earlier this year, Red Dead Online briefly revived that energy through “Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1”, a batch of missions that introduced supernatural storylines with robots and undead enemies. Players are still hoping that a Volume 2 is on the way — or maybe even a revival of the beloved Undead Nightmare DLC from the first game.
The Dream: Undead Nightmare 2 or Next-Gen Port
Every Halloween, fans reignite one request — an Undead Nightmare 2 or a next-gen upgrade for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, Rockstar has yet to announce anything official, focusing most of its resources on GTA Online and the upcoming GTA VI.
Still, it’s hard not to imagine how great it would be to experience the haunting plains, eerie swamps, and undead hordes of the frontier in 4K HDR glory on modern hardware.
My Take
Even if Red Dead Online never lived up to its full potential, these little updates show there’s still life — and community — in the game. The Halloween rewards are a simple but nostalgic reminder of why players keep returning: the atmosphere, the music, and that unmatched Rockstar world-building.
If you haven’t logged in for a while, now’s the perfect time to dust off your boots, grab your free Halloween outfit, and ride into the ghostly night.
