Which edition is worth it for me?
The Standard Edition is worth it for you if you just want to play Red Dead Redemption 2 for the story. You pay the lowest price and have full access to the main story.
The Special Edition is worth it for you if you want a bit more content. The additional bank heist mission offers a bit more background and story, but is not necessary for the main story. The other bonuses are “nice additions.” Those who want more story content have to play online.
The Ultimate Edition is worth it for you if you especially want to play the online mode. This secures you some advantages, such as for ranking up, but also a cooler appearance to customize your character.
