Red Dead Redemption 2: Companion is a lightweight companion experience designed to sit alongside the main game and help players get more out of the world of RDR2. It offers an interactive map, quick-reference guides and progress trackers that make exploring, hunting, and completing challenges easier and more enjoyable without interrupting core gameplay. The map provides detailed points of interest — towns, hunting grounds, legendary animal locations, and hidden collectibles — and lets you filter and plan routes so you can focus on the things you want to find. Beyond navigation, the Companion includes an encyclopedia of in-game elements such as weapons, animals, plants, and craftable items, giving concise descriptions and practical tips. Challenge and mission trackers summarize what’s left to do for 100% completion, letting you monitor progress at a glance and prioritize tasks. There are also sections that explain mechanics (like hunting and horse care) in plain language, which is handy for new players or those returning after a break. The interface is built for quick lookups: use it to check where to find bait, what pelts are needed for a particular outfit, which towns have specific services, or which weapons match your preferred playstyle. It’s especially useful during long exploration sessions when you want to plan hunting runs, seek out stranger missions, or locate collectibles without constantly pausing the game. Overall, RDR2: Companion streamlines information and planning so players can stay immersed in the story and scenery. It’s a practical tool for completionists and casual explorers alike, helping you make smarter choices on the trail while keeping the focus on Arthur Morgan’s journey through the American frontier.
