Rockstar Games sure knows how to market their games. To tempt gamers to buy “Red Dead Redemption 2,” the studio has announced that “GTA Online” players will get $1,000,000 in GTA online currency if they pre-order the upcoming game by Oct. 15.
“Players who pre-order any digital edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 from the PlayStation or Microsoft Store by October 15th can jump in GTA Online anytime this week to earn an extra cash bonus of GTA$1,000,000 on the same platform as their digital pre-order,” the statement reads.
“Any players who have already pre-ordered digital editions of Red Dead Redemption 2 are also eligible to unlock this bonus cash just by playing GTA Online by October 15th on the same platform as their digital pre-order.“
According to Rockstar Games, the bonus in-game currency will be deposited into the players’ Maze Bank accounts starting on Oct. 16, and they should receive it no later than Oct. 22.
Meanwhile, reports have indicated that NPCs dialogue change if the mini-map is turned off in “Red Dead Redemption 2.” With the mini-map disabled, NPCs will reportedly give players directions to help them get to their destination.
This could be an interesting feature, but VG247 has reported that after playing “Red Dead Redemption 2” for several hours, the dialogue options didn’t seem to change. As noted by VG247’s Shabana Arif, the source of the story probably made a mistake while he was translating the information from a magazine called GAMEPLAY.
“Red Dead Redemption 2” is scheduled to come out on Oct. 26 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while “Red Dead Online” is launching in November as a public beta. Players may have to free up space on their hard drive because the upcoming game will reportedly require around 105 GB of storage space to install.
