John Marston and Arthur Morgan are among the most beloved protagonists in video games. I certainly wouldn’t call them heroes; they’re complex humans, struggling to do good (most of the time) in spite of their surroundings and circumstances.
Red Dead Redemption 2is a masterpiece, of course, with so much to see and do that players are stillmaking completely new and unexpecteddiscoveries to this day. Consideringthe sheer scope and scaleof Rockstar’s celebrated open-world, that’s not too surprising. Whatissurprising, is learning just how old John and Arthur really are.
Take a look at some of the bestRed Dead Redemption 2wins and fails below!
As it turns out, Arthur is 35. That one isn’t too far off how he looks, I’ll grant you that, but I was floored to learn John is 26 during the events ofRed Dead Redemption 2. Clearly there’s no skincare routine to speak of in the wild west.

It’s worth noting theRed Dead wikiasays Arthur is 36 years old in the game, but the math suggests he’s 34 years old. We can of course assume Hosea is correct when he posits Arthur was maybe a little older, so let’s split the difference and land on 35.

John is a little easier to work out. Arthur meets him at 12 years old in 1885, so a simple bit of math makes him 26 inRed Dead Redemptionand 38 inRed Dead Redemption 2. Clearly he did most of his ageing in his 20s, as he doesn’t look too much older in the original game.
