I guess the beta for Red Dead Online is "good" enough now that Rockstar felt comfortable opening up their real-money store for the game. Starting today, you can purchase gold bars to fulfill Red Dead Online's second economy. These bars allow you to purchase various in-game items such as horses, outfits, weapon customizations, and more without spending the other in-game currency of "RDO$" or Red Dead Online dollars. The prices for gold bars begins at $9.99 (USD), which will net you 25 gold...

Arena Mode is now available in GTA Online. It was announced just yesterday and boom, like that it has been released. Think of Arena Mode as a game show built around the idea of Twisted Metal with a bunch of in-game rewards for your GTA Online player.

Rockstar Games really likes pushing dates to their limit. However, they promised that the beta for Red Dead Online would begin this November and damn it, they're sticking to that promise.

They announced today that the beta will begin tomorrow, November 27. Those that own Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition will be the first in tomorrow. After that will be those that played the game on October 26. After that will be those that played before October 30. And then after that...

As if there were any lingering doubt about how much of a sales success Red Dead Redemption 2 is, this latest blurb in the Q2 2019 financial report from Take-Two will put some things into perspective.

Take-Two says that Red Dead Redemption 2 sold more units in eight days than Red Dead Redemption sold in eight years. That is a staggering difference there.

The report goes on to say that Red Dead Redemption 2 has already sold over 17 million units worldwide. Red Dead...

Red Dead Redemption 2 has apparently achieved the biggest opening weekend of all time across all forms of entertainment. This at least what Rockstar is telling me and why would they lie about their own game release? Do you really think someone would do that? How distrusting you are. So what does "biggest opening weekend of all time" really mean? Well, it means that Red Dead Redemption 2 had the biggest opening weekend in retail sell-through across all media types. It also had the second ...

A little game called Red Dead Redemption 2 was released today for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. The game was developed by a little studio called Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two. I'm sure we can all appreciate that a company like Take-Two extended a hand to these up and coming developers.

This is an interesting story to share with you today. According to a new report from Kotaku, smaller retail shops will not get any copies of Red Dead Redemption 2 to sell until at least November. This information comes from a number of small retail shop owners that Kotaku interviewed recently. These "mom and pop" shops have stated that they have been told their distributors won't be able to get them copies in time for release. One such store owner is Zach Gieg, the owner of a small cha...

Think of the title less of an informative statement and more of a command. You will watch the launch trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 that came out today. I'm sure you would do this anyway even without me issuing a weak command to you, so it's not like I'm pushing you that hard.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser said that at times, the Red Dead Redemption 2 team were "working 100-hour weeks" on the game. This naturally caused quite a bit of an uproar across social media and a number of gaming sites. Rightfully so, I might add. "Crunch" as it's commonly referred to, sees employees going to extremes to hit particular milestones. These are common prior to a game shipping in order to meet launch deadlines. The industry hates it. D...

According to a rumor kicked off by Rockstar Intel, casting calls have gone out for Bully 2. We're not talking about just one or two casting calls, Rockstar Intel says that no fewer than seven casting calls for motion capture acting roles have been made. Specifically, they say that these seven casting calls have been for a "new unannounced video game title with a leading UK games developer, shooting at Pinewood Studios." The casting calls were mainly for teenage and young roles. There was a...

The PlayStation 4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has some time limited content. The good news in all of this is the fact that it's only limited for 30 days and then it will hit the Xbox One.

This content includes an outfit, a specific type of horse, a saddle, and a weapon. So it's not too much content, but it's still more than "zero" and that never really sits well with me no matter what platform it's for. Anyway, let's get some additional details on this content, yeah? The...

No fancy headline and no beating around the bush here. There is a new gameplay trailer out today for Red Dead Redemption 2. You probably already saw it and that's fine, but why not take a second or even a third look while you're here?

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 26.
