Here’s Why Red Dead Online is Coming After Red Dead 2 Launches
Rockstar has revealed their plans for Red Dead Online, the multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2. While included in the price of Red Dead 2, the online mode won’t launch until it enters a public beta in November 2018.

The initial launch period will be considered a “public beta,” according to the post from Rockstar’s Newswire. “We feel Grand Theft Auto Online really only found its feet creatively with Heists,” says Josh Needleman, Senior Producer at Rockstar’s San Diego office, says.
