Red Dead Redemption 2

The latest report from Entertainment Retailers Association shows that in 2018, games accounted for more than half of the entire UK entertainment market. This also means that the games market is bigger from video and music sector combined.

There's no doubt that Sony had a year well worth remembering, both in terms of standout PlayStation 4 performers in general but especially with the company's exclusives, such as God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man and Detroit: Become Human.

Epic's flagship Fortnite is Google's most-searched game of 2018, as was confirmed in Google's Year in Search list. The data is specific to the United States and once again the popular battle royale had a tough competition in RDR2.

We've already said that it would be quite symbolic if Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 won the last remaining week in the UK physical sales chart and that's exactly how it went down, with FIFA 19 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 following.

From now on, players will be able to purchase Gold Bars with real-world money in Red Dead Online. This change comes with the latest December update in which Rockstar also adds 15 additional gold bars and a cash gift to all players.

To say that Red Dead Redemption 2 development was kept under tight wraps is a severe understatement, but it's even worse for voice actors like Gabriel Sloyer who played Javier Escuella and couldn't tell a living soul about his work.

Sony's heavy hitter God of War took the ultimate award but Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 snagged a couple of shiny trophies as well. Of course, Epic's battle royale wonder Fortnite was among the winners along with indie title Celeste.

Rockstar have released the first update for Red Dead Online open beta and the list of changes includes increased gold and money rewards and reduced weapon prices. Another batch of fixes for some persistent issues will follow next week.

One Redditor is considering employing third-world labour to grind gold for him in Red Dead Online. LeRedditArtist asked whether this would be a viable option since he'd rather help some poor kids than hand over his cash to Rockstar.

Players have discovered a glitch in Red Dead Online which allows them to make an infinite amount of money. This can be achieved in two ways and both methods are yet to be addressed by Rockstar as Red Dead Online goes live for all players.
