Red Dead Online Play Modes Include Battle Royale Mode; Story Missions Confirmed And More

Red Dead Online, the online multiplayer mode of the recently released open world game Red Dead Redemption 2, will go into beta later today for those who purchased any of the game’s Special Editions. Despite it not yet being available, new details on the play modes and more have emerged online.

Just like it was rumored a few months back, Red Dead Online will sport a battle royale mode called Make It Count. In this mode, up to 32 players will be fighting against one another with limited weapon availability and a shrinking circle. Among the maps where this mode can be played are Strawberry, Stillwater Creek, and Tall Trees.

Other confirmed modes include Most Wanted, a mode where the player getting higher on the kills leaderboards will also have the highest bounty, Name Your Weapon, Team Shootout, and Races.

Additionally, it seems like Red Dead Online will have several single player missions telling a story. These missions will be different depending on the character’s current Honor rating.
