What you are buying
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s 1899 open-world story about Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang. The full product includes Story Mode and access to Red Dead Online. Online needs a Rockstar account, a network connection and, on consoles, the multiplayer subscription your platform requires. Story Mode cheat phrases never grant Online currency.
Console launch was on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PC version followed on via Steam and the Rockstar Games Launcher. There is no official Nintendo Switch version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
If you already use our GTA pages, treat RDR2 as a sibling Rockstar catalogue entry: slower Story Mode pacing, Honor systems, and a Cheats menu that uses English phrases instead of phone numbers.
Platforms

Standard or Ultimate?
Ultimate adds Story Mode bonus content described with the Special Edition plus Online bonuses (outfits, rank bonuses, Black Chestnut Thoroughbred and related Online extras on Rockstar’s edition marketing). Buy Ultimate only if those extras matter; Story Mode itself does not require Ultimate.
| Edition | Best when | Skip when |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / full game | You want Story Mode and basic Online access | You specifically want the Ultimate Online/Story extras list |
| Ultimate | You want the documented bonus bundle and will use Online cosmetics | You only care about finishing Arthur’s story once |
Always read the bullet list on the SKU you are buying. Third-party “Ultimate” keys may not match PlayStation’s Ultimate product.

Which should you buy?
Our default recommendation for most readers: Standard on the platform where you already own GTA V or where friends play. Pay Ultimate’s premium only for its named extras. On the day we checked, PlayStation and Xbox Standard list prices undercut Steam’s list price; a Steam sale can reverse that.

Story Mode cheats
RDR2 includes 37 typed English phrases in Settings → Cheats. Activating any cheat disables saving and Trophies/Achievements for that session. Several phrases need newspapers after story milestones. They do not work in Red Dead Online. Phrase list verified against GamesRadar+: RDR2 cheats (21 Oct 2026) (updated 21 October 2026).
