Red Dead Redemption 2 special editions have exclusive content

Red Dead Redemption 2 special editions have exclusive content unavailable to its standard edition, Rockstar Games has confirmed.

It was recently revealed that both the Special and Ultimate Editions of the game will include the exclusive missions, with Rockstar today confirming both Bank Robbery and Gang Hideout bonuses will not be available in the standard edition.

“The Bank Robbery and Gang Hideout included in the RDR2 Special Edition are side activities created specifically for that edition,” Rockstar tweeted, “and are not part of the main story.”

Rockstar was careful to point out that the content is not part of the main story — and the publisher could always provide access at a later date. Still, fans aren’t happy about Rockstar’s decision.

What do you make of the edition-gated content?

Red Dead Redemption 2 heads to Xbox One and PS4 on 26 October.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
