"We are pleased to announce that PS4 players get first access to earn select online content in the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 ", reads a PlayStation Blog post No details are given about what that online content might be, with PlayStation adding only: "Check back on PlayStation.Blog for more details soon and for all of the latest information on Red Dead Redemption 2."The partnership will also see Red Dead Redemption brought to the PlayStation Now subscription service. It effectively acts as the game's first ever PC release, as Now allows for PS3 game streaming on PS4 and PC. Bear in mind PlayStation Now is only available in select countries. Australia, for instance, does not have the service.The post also confirms that the very pretty premiere trailer for the new game (above) was captured on PS4 - although that most likely means the upcoming PS4 Pro upgrade Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released for Xbox One and PS4 in Fall 2017.
