YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" is ready to host a new gaming marathon. The streamer took to his X account to reveal that he will be playing Rockstar Games' hit action-adventure game Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2). The game was originally released in 2018 and has garnered praise from the gaming community, being one of the highest-rated games (97) on Metacritic.com.
The rule for the gaming marathon is quite simple — stream until Speed finishes the game. The stream will take place later today, January 6, 2025, at 11 a.m. EST (Eastern Time), 8 a.m. PT (Pacific Time), and 4 p.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time/UK Time).
The marathon will be hosted on IShowSpeed's official YouTube channel (34.3 million subscribers). Here is the link to his Red Dead Redemption 2 stream:

IShowSpeed set to host Red Dead Redemption 2 marathon, fans react
YouTube star IShowSpeed has returned to the desktop streaming grind. The streamer announced plans to kick off a Red Dead Redemption 2 gaming marathon later today (January 6, 2025).
RDR2 is widely regarded for its gameplay, characterization, and story. Completing the main story typically takes around 50-65 hours, so fans can anticipate an extended streaming session.
Speed's announcement has sparked a wave of reactions from his fan base:
"Greatest streamer of all time playing the greatest game of all time," said @Pasi_9000
"For a normal player 40-60 hours but for Speed probably 120-180," said @richh0miequan11
"May your Horse never stumble & your luck never run dry," said @Kitora_Su
"This is going to be the most unhinged playthrough of RDR2 ever lmao," said @RileyTaugor
"Not possible. It’s like the longest game ever," said @Celineroseeee
"RDR2 is more than a game. It is a beautiful story, and I am really excited to see Speed get to enjoy it," said @jebforga
Has IShowSpeed played RDR2 before?
IShowSpeed's upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 marathon isn’t his first attempt at the game. He previously played it on stream twice — once in June 2022 and again in January 2024. However, on both occasions, he was unable to complete it.
Other popular streamers have also explored RDR2. For example, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat took his gaming marathon to another level by donning a cowboy outfit and setting up a Western-themed backdrop for his RDR2 stream in April 2024.
IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat have also collaborated on streams, playing games like Chained Together and Fortnite Ranked Duo. Their joint streams are always packed with energy and entertainment, making them a fan-favorite duo in the streaming world.
