Epic Red Dead Redemption 2 Finale Leaves Streamer in Tears

Popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed, known for his energetic personality and over-the-top reactions, recently completed an epic 43-hour marathon of Red Dead Redemption 2, leaving fans stunned and the streamer himself in tears. The 19-year-old streamer, whose real name is Darren, went all out on his cowboy adventure, donning full Western attire to immerse himself in the world of Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang.

IShowSpeed’s journey through the Wild West was nothing short of dramatic, with the streamer experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions throughout his two-day playthrough.

As he approached the game’s climactic ending, his viewers witnessed a rare moment of vulnerability from the usually boisterous content creator.

The final moments of Arthur Morgan’s story left IShowSpeed visibly shaken. As the betrayal of Dutch and Micah unfolded on screen, the streamer’s reaction was raw and unfiltered. “Ain’t no fking way!” he exclaimed, his voice cracking with emotion. “This sh*t is crazy, bro. These nias ‘traiting’ (traitors) on me. They ‘traited’ my sh*t. They some rats, bro.”

As Arthur’s fate became clear, IShowSpeed struggled to accept the narrative’s direction. “Come on Dutch, don’t do me like that. Don’t!” he pleaded, as if he could somehow change the game’s predetermined outcome. The streamer’s connection to the character was palpable, demonstrating the power of Red Dead Redemption 2‘s storytelling.

The emotional impact of the game’s conclusion continued as Arthur’s final moments played out. IShowSpeed, clearly invested in the character’s journey, urged Arthur to fight against his inevitable fate. “No, I don’t like that. Hell nah! Ain’t no f**king dude. Ain’t no way I’m going out like that. Arthur, get up,” he implored, his words a mixture of denial and desperation.

As the credits rolled, marking the end of his 42-hour, 55-minute, and 40-second journey, IShowSpeed’s emotions overflowed. Tears welled up in his eyes as he addressed his audience, “We did it, at 43 hours chat, we beat the game guys.” The usually animated streamer was reduced to quiet clapping, overwhelmed by the experience.

IShowSpeed’s marathon stream didn’t end with Arthur’s story. He continued playing into the epilogue, following John Marston’s post-Arthur narrative.

In a touching finale to his stream, IShowSpeed made one last pilgrimage in the game world – a visit to Arthur Morgan’s grave. It was here that the streamer made a bold declaration about Red Dead Redemption 2‘s place in gaming history. “Red Dead is one of the best games of all-time. This game is one of the best games of all-time,” he stated emphatically. “W game, man. The best game of all-time man.”

This marathon stream follows a trend set by fellow content creator Kai Cenat, who had also completed Red Dead Redemption 2 in April 2024. Like IShowSpeed, Cenat called the award-winning 2018 title the “best game” he’s ever played.

While IShowSpeed hasn’t announced his next marathon stream, speculation is already building about what game might capture his attention – and emotions – next.

Unfortunately, while the praise (and sales) continues to pour in for Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar remains laser-focused on their next big title, Grand Theft Auto 6. It’s unclear if Rockstar will revisit the Wild West anytime soon, but it’s highly likely that we’ll have to wait out the current console generation before we see what kind of journey awaits us in the next Red Dead title.
