Written by Brandon Hofer on September 19, 2018

News: The online mode for Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive after the game’s launch with a beta taking place in a couple months.

Rockstar has just released some details about Red Dead Online, the online mode for the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Online is an evolution of the classic multiplayer experience in the original Red Dead Redemption, blending narrative with competitive and cooperative gameplay in fun new ways. Using the gameplay of the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 as a foundation, Red Dead Online will be ready to be explored alone or with friends, and will also feature constant updates and adjustments to grow and evolve this experience for all players.

Red Dead Online is planned for launch in November 2018, initially as a public beta, with more news to come soon. As with most online experiences of this size and scale, there will inevitably be some turbulence at launch. We look forward to working with our amazing and dedicated community to share ideas, help us fix teething problems and work with us to develop Red Dead Online into something really fun and innovative.

Access to Red Dead Online is free to anyone with a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive on October 26, 2018, for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with Red Dead Online arriving at a later date.
