Red Dead Online Beta is Set to Go Live From Tomorrow

Read Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition owners can play tomorrow (November 27). On Wednesday, it will open up to anyone who played the game when it launched on 26th October, and the following day it will be available for anyone who played the game between 26th and 29th October.

On the 29th November, everyone who played the game between the 26th October and 29th October - within three days of its launch - can join the beta.

For those who belong to the two groups in the middle, you'll need to be signed into your PSN account and your Rockstar Social Club account.

Rockstar designers have described how Red Dead Online learned many lessons from GTA Online, emulating aspects from DLC releases like Heists, The Doomsday Heist, Gun Running and After Hours, though they've also emphasized how missions in Red Dead multiplayer will hew to the slower pace of play found in the horse-bound world of the single-player campaign.

While we won't know exactly what Red Dead Online looks like until it launches tomorrow, it stands to reason that it will follow a similar road to that of Grand Theft Auto Online, which featured the same massive game world as Grand Theft Auto V, but with new modes, features, and narrative threads to follow. Today, Rockstar revealed that Red Dead Online will be rolling out to all players this week. While we're getting pretty close to the end of the month, this release slate for Red Dead Online still falls in line with that window, proving that they did keep their promise.

If you want to play solo, that's absolutely fine.

You'll be able to access the beta from the title screen.

Thankfully, you'll be able to team up with up to seven other players for a total of eight.

When it comes to modes, there will be specific versus and competitive modes although there's not been any details on the rumoured battle royale mode.

However as Grand Theft Auto Online enters its 5th year of support, with massive updates including hover bikes and cars, and new heists involving nuclear threats, grinding has become so great it's nearly unrealistic upon its player base, to the point of which purchased cash is nearly essential.

Much like GTA Online, Red Dead Online will be a "live service", which most likely means you can expect regular content updates to drop over time, as well as some form of microtransactions.
