Red Dead Redemption 2 Online is Here

Well if you are the proud owner of the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2, you now have Early Access to the Red Dead Online Beta. As promised by Rockstar Games the online mode would release just a month after the initial launch. And now, it’s time to saddle up and enjoy the ride.

Don’t have the Ultimate Edition, no need to worry as this week you’ll still gain access one way or another. Rockstar is playing it safe with their servers to ensure full connectivity, zero lag and a successful experience, just as the GTA V Online launch back in 2013. Plans are as follows:

• Tuesday, November 27th: All Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition owners. Please note, players who purchased the physical Ultimate Edition must redeem the Ultimate Edition code in the packaging to be eligible.
• Wednesday, November 28th: All players who played Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 26th according to our data.
• Thursday, November 29th: All players who played Red Dead Redemption 2 between October 26th to October 29th according to our data.
• Friday, November 30th: All players who own Red Dead Redemption 2.

The Red Dead Online Beta will be available to anyone who owns Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One starting Friday, November 30. When booting up Red Dead Redemption 2 and arriving to the title menu, you will see an option in the top right of the screen to select Online.

What’s to expect in the online mode you ask?

Explore the world solo or with friends. Form or join a Posse to ride with up to seven players; gather around the fire at your Camp; head out hunting or fishing; visit bustling towns; battle enemy gangs and attack their hideouts; hunt for treasure; take on missions and interact with familiar characters from across the five states; or fight against other outlaws in both spontaneous skirmishes and pitched set-piece battles; compete with other players or whole Posses in open world challenges and much more.

All that’s left to say is see you online!
