After a year on the market as a console game, Rockstar’s popular Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally coming to PCs on November 5th, 2019.
PC gamers boast about the power of their rigs, but those beasts have been unable to get their hands on Red Dead Redemption 2, which had been available exclusively on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game takes place before the events of 2010’s Red Dead Redemption and sees players taking on the role of Arthur Morgan, a key member of the Van der Linde crime gang.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was met by critical acclaim from reviewers and players alike. The game is absolutely gorgeous, and those with powerful enough PCs will be able to run the game at high frame rates and in full 4K resolution. The game also features a compelling story and details that’ll make your head spin. Rockstar went as far as to make the horses have testicles, and the balls of the horses grow and shrink depending on the temperature of the weather in the game.

A brand new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer has dropped and it showcases more gameplay elements. We finally get to see what it'll be like to actually play the game.
The trailer begins by different criminal activities the player can take part in. This includes large bank heists, train robberies, or store hold ups.
The trailer also showcases rival gangs and outlaws. Players will need to keep their wits about them as they explore the world as there will always be danger around the corner.
The trailer also showcases what it will be like to constantly be on the run from bounty hunters and the law.
As teased from the last trailer, we got to see a further look at the new deadeye system. It will now have multiple stages. You can slow time, paint multiple targets at once, or see critical areas on a particular enemy.
Besides typical criminal activities like explained above, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also offer a number of less dangerous activities.

In anticipation for the Red Dead Redemption 2 release, Rockstar Games has just announced a large line of Red Dead merchandise.
All of the new merch can be purchased directly from the Rockstar Warehouse on Rockstar's website.
All of the merchandise has been pinned under a new section called the Outlaw Essentials collection.
There are multiple dozen different items that are themed around outlaws and Red Dead in general. Alongside your standard t-shirts, you'll also find logo stickers, puzzles, phone cases, a bottle opener, a shot glass, and even a Zippo lighter.
It should be noted that all of the new merch has been launched already. None of the merchandise will be shipped with copies of Red Dead Redemption 2 but there are a number of limited versions of the game that do come with some sweet exclusive physical

The latest Smuggler's Run update for GTA Online has now been out for just over a week. While the bulk of it, including a new adversary mode, and a number of new jets and planes have already been released, Rockstar has slowly trickled out more content over the past 10 days.
This week, the new Motor Wars adversary mode will now offer players double RP and double cash. The game mode is a play on the popular battle royale mode seen in games like Playerunknown's Battlegrounds.
In Motor Wars, players will drop from the sky and must find a weaponized vehicle spawn as quickly as possible. It's essentially battle royale but with vehicles.
A new T-shirt, the white Shrewsbury logo tee has also been given to players for free, and players can currently get 25% off all vehicle armor. This includes armor for the new air vehicles.
Both the Pegassi Reaper and the Progen Itali GTB are also 25% off for a limited time.
A new plane has also been added as part of an expansion

In the recent gun running update, Rockstar included some course code for a potentially hidden UFO mission. GTA modding group Team Guru has now uncoded the mission and have got it working.
So far, the mission cannot be played legitimately and it looks as if the mission is not yet completed. Rockstar may have plans to add the full mission in the future. For now, though, the uncompleted mission starts by showing players a gigantic crashed alien spaceship.
Near the spaceship crash is a small alien egg - players can pick up the egg. After this, a group of aliens appear, and players must work together to eliminate the aliens. Players must then drive the egg to their gun running bunker.
Aliens have been seen in Grand Theft Auto 5 before. In a mission in the story, Michael starts to hallucinate after taking drugs. During this mission, players take control of Michael to bring down waves of aliens. Some players have tried to decode an alien-themed mystery, known as the Chilliad

It seemed as if it was inevitable. After the huge amount of attention the idea for a Red Dead Redemption sequel got, Rockstar has finally gone and released a new trailer for their next game, Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released in Fall 2017, so long as there aren't any delays that may push it back. Rockstar are known to delay their games in cases where everything isn't quite perfect, so Fall 2017 is for now, best seen as an estimation for the release date of the game.
We really don't know anything about Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, besides the fact that it looks beautiful. Unsurprisingly the trailer has showcased an unprecedented level of Rockstar style detail on the wildlife and scenery.
The trailer also showcases a group of seven characters riding horses near the end, which perfectly matches the number shown on the original teaser poster. Whilst this is speculation on our part, it sounds like the seven characters may be at the forefront of the

A brand new GTA Online update is planned to hit in October and it'll feature some new biker themed content. The new Biker Gang update will hit on October 4.
Rockstar wrote, "The next addition to GTA Online - brings underground Motorcycle Clubs to the forefront of the Los Santos and Blaine County criminal underworld with a rash of all new competitive and co-operative gameplay as well as new modes, vehicles, weapons, clothing and much more. GTA Online: Bikers arrives on October 4th as an automatic update to GTA Online on PS4, Xbox One and PC."
One of the new additions to GTA Online: Bikers will allow players to use melee weapons whilst riding a bike. If another biker gets too close, a quick shank will surely put them off.
Players can also do objectives to earn the respect of the biker gang president. By doing objectives, players will rise up the ranks and new rewards will be made available.
A new vehicle, called the Western Rat Bike, will be added to the game,

A brand new update for Grand Theft Auto Online has been released by Rockstar and it adds a big range of new content.
The first addition to the new update, which has been named Further Adventures in Finance and Felony, is the executive suite. This can be purchased like apartments can and give players and their friends a place to prepare for their next assignment. The offices come with personal helipads, an office assistant and even an extra mini game to play whilst taking a break from all the hard work.
There are a number of new team-based missions that allow your organization to smuggle good throughout Los Santos. Your job is to move your product successfully without getting gunned down by the FIB, LSPD or even rival gang members. There are also missions which require you to defend your warehouses from rival gangs - as you can imagine, this will involve big shootouts, which are always fun.
There are a number of extra VIP challenges and jobs for CEOS too, which can be

In a huge new sponsorship deal, OpTic has teamed up with Pepsi to bring a brand new energy drink to the market. Aimed at gamers looking for the best fuel to power up their own game, the new drink is called Brisk Mate. The Mate in Brisk Mate is pronounced mah-tay and is based off of a South American leaf that is used in the drink that has the same pronunciation at the end of it's name. The drink is an iced tea that comes in a range of different flavors and also comes with a range of other benefits you'd hope to see in an energy drink.
The Brisk Mate drink has been described to give players a "smooth, energizing spark" and as well as using the sponsorship deal to showcase their new drink, Pepsi will allow the OpTic teams from different games to drink the drink at events - we'd expect there to be enough Brisk Mate to last the entire OpTic organisation for an entire lifetime.
Perhaps the coolest thing to come from the new sponsorship deal, at least for us viewers, is a number
