The first-person mode was arguably one of the coolest post-launch updates to come to Rockstar’sGrand Theft Auto V. Now, the gaming giant has revealed that its forthcoming Western action-adventure titleRed Dead Redemption 2will have the first-person mode available when it hits shelves in October. Needless to say, this could very well extend the quality of life for the game, as it has already made ourmost anticipated games of fall 2018list.

For those interested in first person, the mode will be simple to activate. It can be activated or deactivated at any time and affects the entire game except for cutscenes. On PS4,Red Dead Redemption 2players can cycle through the camera modes on the trackpad. One would imagine that the Xbox version would cycle in a similar manner, perhaps with the use of the D-pad or options button.

As awesome as this new mode is, it isn’t the only latest bit of news to be revealed concerning the western title. In another comparison toGTA V,Red Dead Redemption 2will have an online mode known asRed Dead Online,and recently, Rockstar confirmed that it will hold anofficial beta trialfor a short period of time. Once again, the popularity of the multiplayer component is up in the air, but it’s likely to mimic its predecessor,GTA Online.

While the first-person mode and Red Dead Online beta are reason enough for many players to saddle back up, there may still be some on the fence. However, theserecently released screenshotsmay help sellRed Dead 2, as the game is clearly going all out.

Red Dead Redemption2is set to launch on June 07, 2025, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
