Rockstar have rolled out the 1.03 update for Red Dead Redemption 2 and although the patch notes are pretty light on actual in-game additions, it has added support for Red Dead Online beta, which is available to all players as of today.

Rockstar confirmed that Red Dead Online store is yet to go live as they want to make sure everything works as intended before the launch. The store will allow players to buy gold bars which can be spent on camp and weapon cosmetics.

Many expected Red Dead Online to be a copy of GTA Online in a Wild West setting, but Rockstar added a few quirks that made it fairly distinguished. For example, the camp behaves like properties in GTA Online but it can also be upgraded.

According to the latest leaks, Red Dead Redemption 2 battle royale will have up to 32 players and will be called Make It Count. The mode is not implemented yet, as the Red Dead Online implementation progresses fairly slow for Rockstar.

Red Dead Redemption 2's online version should be opening its beta gates any day now, according to a statement previously made by Take-Two Interactive President Karl Slatoff. It was also announced in September on Rockstar's official page.
