By on
Red Dead Redemption 2‘s release is approaching, and news regarding it had by and large stayed relatively quiet. We’ve now gotten a ton of new details about RDR2, and you might be wondering what a pre-order of the game will secure you. In addition to the Special and Ultimate editions of the game, the developer has announced the pre-order bonuses players will receive for reserving the title ahead of its release. Also bear in mind that PS4 will offer some kind of exclusive content that’s still to be announced, which may impact your choice if platform. But from pre-orders alone, here’s what you can receive.
Everyone who pre-orders a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 will get a pair of DLC “enhancements” for the story mode. First is the War Horse, which Rockstar says has “greater courage and stamina than the average steed.” In addition to that, players will receive an Outlaw Survival Kit, which comes with an assortment of helpful items to replenish health, Dead Eye, and more.
