Red Dead Online Comes To Xbox

Rockstar follows up its hit Western epic with an online mode that pushes it off the scale.

Rockstar know a thing or two about multiplayer. The success of GTA Online has been nothing short of phenomenal, with the game still going strong five years since its release. So you’d surely expect the same of Red Dead Online, which has just arrived on Xbox One – bringing with it a ton of game modes and persistent online content that, like GTA, promises to keep fans playing for years to come.

At the time of OXM going to press, the Online mode was in beta testing, with Ultimate Edition owners first to play in its sandbox of cowboy delights on 27 November, followed by players who bought the game in the first three days of its October release, and then everyone else by 30 November.

This staggered start was, say Rockstar, so that it could “deliver a stable and fun experience while collecting as much crucial information and feedback as possible to help us continually improve Red Dead Online”.
