You can now get this special version for Red Dead Online so you can play online without owning the main game with the single player story.

Of course, if you want to play online on PlayStation or XBox you need the usual subscriptions.

The new standalone version of Red Dead Online will require up to 123GB of disk space and will also include the option to unlock Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode (purchased separately).

Enjoy!

XBox: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/red-dead-online/9N3L5FF8M6…

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1404210/Red_Dead_Online/

PlayStation: https://store.playstation.com/en-au/product/EP1004-CUSA08519…
(to get the price on PlayStation you need an active PSN subscription which you would need anyway for any online play)

        Freebie from EGS on the cards?

        • StorminNorman on 02/12/2020 - 10:06

          RDR2 was cracked so might just be to grab some revenue that otherwise would pass through. see if they can gee up the online and then microtransaction it. From what I picked up RDR2 online is pretty sparse compared to GTA5.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2020 - 21:08

    Well I have wanted to get back to the online but I played through the story on PS4 Pro already (as well as 100 hours online) so this helps.

      Sorry but you should read before commenting. This is the price until 15 Feb 2021. It is 75% off and an introductory price. After 15 Feb 2021 the price will be higher.

      "Red Dead Online will be available from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Games Launcher, Epic Games Store and Steam at an introductory offer of $4.99 – which is 75% off the regular price – until February 15, 2021*."

          No.

          Play to win.

        • Team America on 02/12/2020 - 08:14

          It's more pay to save your time.
          There is in game currency of gold. You can buy 25 gold for $7.5 at a one time discount. After that it's $15 for 25 gold. You use gold to unlock the different roles of collector, naturalist, trader, bounty hunter, and moonshiner. Each role costs between 10 and 25 gold. I think you need about 100 gold in total to unlock all of the roles. So if you wanted to unlock all of the roles from the beginning it would cost you about $50.

          There are a good amount of ways to get gold however. Daily objectives are by far the best way at 0.2 gold each. Keeping the daily streak increases that to 0.5 within 28 days, but then resets.

          Treasure maps give about 1 gold each and you get one every five levels. Random quests in the game give about 0.1 gold each. The bounty hunter role also gives about 0.3 gold per bounty mission.

          I purchased the discounted 25 gold and played the game to get the rest. It took me about two weeks of playing a lot to unlock all of the roles.

          • CptnObvious on 02/12/2020 - 09:58

            @Team America: ie. pay to win… you pay so you don't have to grind to get what you want.

            • Team America on 02/12/2020 - 13:51

              @CptnObvious: I guess, but at least in rdr2 it's reasonable to not pay for anything. In GTA5 it would take several months to buy all of the businesses. Especially with those stupid oppressors blowing up your deliveries.

            • captaincabinets on 02/12/2020 - 18:46

              @CptnObvious: I thought pay to win meant you pay for an unfair competitive advantage over others in multiplayer. This just sounds like what TA said, pay to save your time.

    Can the nVidia Shield TV still play and stream PC games or did they remove that feature? I remember playing GTA 5 from PC to Shield a few years ago. I haven't done anything like that since.

    • SoDelicious on 03/12/2020 - 11:26

      Still check out the main game when you can, the campaign is brilliant. Don’t be put off by how bad the online component is when you get around to playing it!

      • AlienC on 03/12/2020 - 15:52

        Yeah definitely the campaign and everything around it I heard is awesome.

        No rush for me I still gotta upgrade my pc before I can really make these demanding games purr in 4k.

      • SoDelicious on 03/12/2020 - 11:24

        If you’re expecting anything close to GTA online in terms of quality you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

        RDR2 single player is a masterpiece. Online is a disaster.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 02/12/2020 - 10:14

    I don't know why I bought this, but I hope we can expect a similar price point for GTA V's next re-release. I'd buy the online part and (profanity) around in solo for $7.50 happily. Besides, I've only bought GTA V 5* times anyway so it's unlucky to have an uneven number

    *technically I didn't buy the PC version since it was free on Epic.

  • cheepo on 02/12/2020 - 11:26

    I've read some recent comments stating that it's difficult to find players in certain lobby's on console. Had anybody played the Xbox version and if so, is it still fairly active?

    • Team America on 02/12/2020 - 13:06

      I play on PS4 and about two months ago they did an update that greatly increased the number of players in your lobbies. Obviously today there are heaps more now as well with this deal.

      • cheepo on 02/12/2020 - 13:32

    • OzJD on 03/12/2020 - 06:28

  • Team America on 02/12/2020 - 13:55

    So they did an update in RDR2 last night and it pretty much broke the game for 75% of the people. If you have issues where you don't get experience or payment for deliveries etc maybe wait a few days until they fix the bugs.

    Possibly a pricing or store error, however Red Dead Online currently lists Red Dead Redemption 2 as an inclusion.

    Does not include story mode!

    • bushywookiee on 05/12/2020 - 15:45

      Description says story mode is purchased separately. Presumably the inclusion is simply because it needs some of that core data to run.

    • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 15:49

      OP has made a mistake. It says that it only includes Red Dead Online. There's no Red Dead Redemption 2 included with this. That's an extra purchase expense.

    • farque on 05/12/2020 - 15:50

        You'll find that the Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode part of it will run as a demo. As the description says that Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode must be purchased separately.

        • farque on 05/12/2020 - 16:00

          Why TF would it say included in bundle then… #ripped ill update when I get home.

          • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 16:11

            @farque: I think that's a mistake. I don't think Red Dead Online which goes for $29.95 at full price would bundle Red Dead Redemption 2 with it which goes for $89.95 at full price. Or else no body will be buying Red Dead Redemption 2 on its own and the game publisher would be losing money.

    • Gambo on 05/12/2020 - 15:55

      • ransworld on 05/12/2020 - 16:05

        The claim here is that the story mode is included.

    • camMMM on 05/12/2020 - 16:07

      Same price for playstation plus users.

      Seems reviews on this are mixed though, most saying it's a grind and a massive pay wall. Seems like it should be free at that rate.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2020 - 16:13

        I haven't played for a year but I played for 6 months solid and loved it for what it was. It wasn't without flaws but it was a beautiful world to drop into and get lost in. Getting gold wasn't hard, I'm sure I left 100+ Gold in my account when I finished playing (I switched to PC)

    • myKidsPwnedU on 05/12/2020 - 16:08
      +2

      I am currently downloading the main game 104.56 GB.

      Interestingly when I first searched for "red" on my XBOX after purchasing from my PC, it said I owned just the Online version, but NOT RDR2.

      But then when I clicked on my online version (just purchased and not installed), it said "Included in Bundle" (just like in the deal in the store), and there it was, RDR2.

      So I clicked on that, and there was an option to install, which I selected, and it seems rather promising, downloading happily at about 80Mbps.

      And actually now RDR2 shows in "My Games and Apps" outside the store.

      Nice work OP. Even though I don't really want to play it again ATM I couldn't resist it at that price…

      • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 16:13

        And what happens when you click on RDR2. Does it suddenly come up saying you need to purchase it in order to play?. That's my guess what would happen. Say just because it allows you to download the game files doesn't mean it gives you the right to play it. After all it's digital rights protection.

        • myKidsPwnedU on 05/12/2020 - 16:16

          I will be able to say for sure in an hour after it downloads! But I suspect it is going to work. At this point there is nothing anywhere suggesting I am not downloading a game that I actually own.

          • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 16:17

            @myKidsPwnedU: Well you're only getting the online part of the game with this purchase. My bet you won't be able to get to the single player part of it at all but only allow you to access the online mode. The story mode part as in single player which it does say needs to be purchased separately.

            It only downloads all the files for RDR2 whether you want it all or not with this purchase. But without the purchase rights to the single player part you won't be able to access that.

            • myKidsPwnedU on 05/12/2020 - 16:18

              @hollykryten: Actually I now agree with you. When I click "Compare editions" this version as compared with RDRII full version does NOT include Story Mode. So I am not sure why I have to download 100GB to get a game without story mode, but it seems like I do. Anyway it is probably for the best - I have already played story mode twice and have quite a backlog of games at this point due to all these sales that keep coming up! :-)

              • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 16:21

                @myKidsPwnedU: It must be like how COD Warzone (which is free) makes you download the whole COD Modern Warfare game files (which is a huge download) even but you hadn't purchased it. You only get to access the online content but all the game files is there.

      • farque on 05/12/2020 - 16:13

        Yeah thats what I see on my games too.

    • ransworld on 05/12/2020 - 16:18

      The Store app on the Xbox says Red Dead Redemption 2 includes: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode.

      Red Dead Online says it includes: Red Dead Redemption.

      This is poor wording, but I'm pretty sure the story mode is not included with Red Dead Online.

      • myKidsPwnedU on 05/12/2020 - 16:19

        Agree just noticed this myself as well.

      • hollykryten on 05/12/2020 - 16:23

        Just read the description of Read Dead Online. It states in B&W that the story mode is not included and is a separate purchase.
