For the past 20 years, Rockstar have continually redefined the concept of open worlds. From the record breaking Grand Theft Auto series, the Midnight Club racing games, the schoolyard comedy Bully, to the breakout hit Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar have consistently delivered on a level that few have managed to match.

Now, following up Grand Theft Auto V — one of the most successful entertainment properties of all time — Rockstar is set to return with Red Dead Redemption 2, the latest entry in the Red Dead series of games. And there’s no better place to play it than PlayStation.

Hand crafted to take full advantage of PS4, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland. The game’s vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

We are pleased to announce that PS4 players get first access to earn select online content in the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2. Check back on PlayStation.Blog for more details soon and for all of the latest information on Red Dead Redemption 2.

In addition, the PS3 classic Red Dead Redemption will be coming PlayStation Now soon. Relive the epic story of former outlaw John Marston as he hunts down the gang members he once called friends through the harsh and punishing landscape of America’s dying West.

Megaton!!!

Reasons to buy a ps4/pro increases for me

The partnership allows them to have an official bundle and use RDR2 in marketing. If the game doesn't get delayed you'll probably see a RDR2 PS4Pro bundle during Holiday 2017 and Sony will use RDR2 in its holiday advertisements. Having a PS4Pro RDR2 bundle around the same time as the Scorpio's launch is pretty big for Sony.

I need to keep my eye out on this one.

This is a huge Deal for Sony !! This kinda makes me wanna wait for PS4 Pro, i mean if they do a themed Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro Bundle, i would want that thing so bad !!!! :)

But no i need a PS4 Pro before Horizon Zero Dawn comes out^^

Interesting. I really really really am excited for this game (trailer has me pumped) but I am not sure how much this appeals to me as a PS4 owner yet. I was never a fan of time-released content. Even when I get the stuff first I could really care less about it. That being said, I guess Sony gets the marketing/bundle opportunities so yay?

This is megaton news. I'll be playing this on my ps4 pro but it's going to sell a shit ton on ps4 because of this deal. It would have sold insanely anyway regardless of who got it but it sells even more now.

Big deal for sony.. they will sell a ton of ps4s..especially around scorpio's launch.... but too bad now people will have to decide between playing the best version on scorpio or playing for extra content. tough choice.

Weird, PS4 would have sold more regardless.

Guess I'll be renting this, can't support these shenanigans :)

They did the same with the original RDR
