News Red Dead Online Private Sessions Aren't an Option Yet
Neither is passive mode
The Red Dead Online beta is now live on PlayStation 4, or at least, it is if you bought the Ultimate Edition of the game. We've been playing around with it for most of the afternoon (was that a stealth brag?) and so far it seems pretty good. It already feels a lot more fleshed out than GTA Online did when it launched, and it...

Trademark is finally dropped
Those of you with good memories may remember Agent, a project that, back in the day, was set to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive from Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption developer Rockstar Games.
