Red Dead Redemption 2 Online will launch on Tuesday 27th November, according to a statement released by Rockstar Games a little earlier on today. The hotly-anticipated online component was originally expected to launch today.

The first incarnation of the service will be a beta offering, and will initially only be available to those who have purchased the Ultimate Edition of the game. The beta will then be opened up gradually to other players who played on the first day of launch, or within the first few days.

Finally, all players will be able to access Red Dead Redemption 2 Online starting 30th November.
