Back in November, Rockstar launched a beta test for Red Dead Online, the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2. That beta has been chugging along ever since as Rockstar continues to tweak it, but now it's received one of the biggest updates yet. Rockstar has updated Red Dead Online to include a new battle royale mode called Gun Rush, which is live now in solo and team variants.
If you've spent the last month working your way through Red Dead Redemption 2's single-player campaign and you're looking for more, then today is a big day. Red Dead Online, which is the online component for Red Dead Redemption 2, is launching today in beta. The hope, of course, is that Red Dead Online gives the game legs beyond its single-player offerings, much like GTA Online did for Grand Theft Auto 5.
Shortly before Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in October, Rockstar announced that the game's online component, Red Dead Online, would launch in beta at some point in November. We entered this week wondering if Rockstar would meet that launch window, but even though it's getting pretty down to the wire, it looks like it will. Today, Rockstar revealed that Red Dead Online will be rolling out to all players this week.
If you've already made your way through Red Dead Redemption 2's substantial narrative, then the good news is that there's more content coming. A lot of this content will be made available in the form of Red Dead Online, an online multiplayer component that was announced shortly before Red Dead Redemption 2 launched. At the time it was revealed, Rockstar only said that Red Dead Online would launch in beta at some point in November, and today that release date was narrowed down a bit.
If you've been on the internet at all today, there's at least a decent chance that you've heard something about Red Dead Redemption 2. The highly anticipated game launches today, more than eight years after its predecessor first wowed us. While fans of the series likely already know all there is to know about Red Dead Redemption 2, this is a little guide for the rest of us, covering what the game is, which platforms it's available on, and other interesting tidbits that someone who's new to the Red Dead world might like to know.
Today is a big day for the Rockstar faithful, as Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally been released. It's been eight long years since the original Red Dead Redemption, so this prequel has been in the works for a long time. While we're sure many people pre-ordered the game, those of you buying a copy today have a decision to make, as there are multiple editions of Red Dead Redemption 2 available.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly going to be a massive game in terms of content, and today, Rockstar announced a companion app that will help you navigate the title's in-game world. While the companion app won't be necessary to play through Red Dead Redemption 2, it will help streamline some tasks and even has the potential to increase your immersion in the game itself. Even better is that it'll be here in time for the game's launch on Friday.
We're now less than a week out from the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, and fans of the series are ready to play. As it typically does with its big releases, Rockstar is playing its cards close to its chest with this release. Though the company has published quite a few trailers explaining things like gameplay, mechanics, and story, what we've seen in those trailers has clearly been heavily curated.
Two years after it was first announced, Red Dead Redemption 2 is poised to launch next week. Throughout these past two years, Rockstar fans who claim PC as their primary gaming platform have been hoping that the company would announce a PC version of RDR 2, but with the Xbox One and PS4 launches practically staring us in the face, such an announcement is nowhere to be seen. That doesn't mean that a PC version is never going to launch, however.
We're now just a few weeks out from the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, and Rockstar's hype machine has kicked into full gear. Today, the company released the second part of its gameplay overview, giving us a glimpse into some of the game's mechanics and systems. If the video is any indication, it sounds like the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to be a hostile one, with conflict at every turn.
We've seen a lot of big-name games get a PS4 bundle of some sort, and as of today, we can add Red Dead Redemption 2 to that list. Even though Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't going to be a PlayStation 4 exclusive, the decision makers at Sony have deemed it be a big enough release to receive its own console bundle. Unfortunately, there isn't much to this bundle aside from the fact that it puts the game and a PS4 Pro together in one package.
For months now, Rockstar has been drip feeding us information about Red Dead Redemption 2's single player offerings, but today it went in a different direction to reveal some details about the game's online mode. Dubbed Red Dead Online, we learned today that it won't actually be launching alongside the main game in October. Instead, it'll be following closely behind with a beta that's releasing in November.
