Rockstar Games released information to what the online multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2 will consist of. After the huge success of GTA V Online, it was all but certain that Read Dead would get the same treatment.
Rockstar say that a beta of Red Dead Online will begin in November, a month after the release of Read Dead Redemption 2 to allow players to complete the single player mode.
As stated, the decision to release the online multiplayer as a beta before making it a wide release is a wise decision given the history that Rockstar had with the rough release of GTA Online. That game’s online mode was hectic and wrought with toxic gameplay elements and game-breaking bugs before it became the money making juggernaut it is today.
Update: Rockstar Games also released single player gameplay to major outlets to accompany this news in the wind up towards the October release.
