Sony’s got the marketing deal for Red Dead Redemption 2, which means timed exclusive trinkets for PlayStation 4 owners. As expected, the additional content isn’t really worth shouting about, so if you happen to be an Xbox player reading a PlayStation website, then we wouldn’t worry too much about the extras.
Here’s a full run-down of the first batch of timed exclusive PS4 goodies, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog:
Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit – available day one in Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode and at the launch of Red Dead Online
A slick but rugged look, the Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit is perfect for exploring the forests of Ambarino. Featuring a wool-lined, long coat with custom, hand-tooled leather accents, a leather vest with ornate pattern details, stand wing-tip collar with black neckerchief, and custom ornate buckle with matching boot tips, the Grizzlies Outlaw Outfit pays homage to the “boss” of the Northern States, its real-world inspiration.
Red Chestnut Arabian Horse – available at the launch of Red Dead Online
Known for its speed and handling, the Red Chestnut Arabian Horse is in a class above most horses you would find in the wild, with performance a step up from the first tier of available horses.
Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter Saddle – available at the launch of Red Dead Online
In addition to its stylish look, the Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter Saddle provides a number of benefits when equipped including core Health and Stamina boosts, which increase speed and acceleration for the horse. This saddle is an enhanced version of the basic saddle that comes stock for players when starting Red Dead Online.
High Roller Double-Action Revolver – available at the launch of Red Dead Online
Looks could kill: The High Roller Double-Action Revolver features a polished steel body with unique period-inspired, beautifully detailed engraving work. The deadly, quick draw revolver comes complete with unique playing card and skull elements carved into the grip. Its superior, quick rate of fire over all other revolvers makes it a great choice for mounted combat.
All of the items will be available 30 days early on the PS4, which essentially means they’ll come to the Xbox One once the exclusivity window has elapsed. It sounds like there may be more PlayStation bonuses in the future, but we’d expect them to be similar to these – meaningless for the most part, and just something for the platform holder to brag about.

Wow. That's sure to lure people otherwise considering the Xbox One version.
Missed opportunity for horse armor.
@LaNooch1978 Make sure you set up two television screens side-by-side, magnified by 500% and you may spot a pixel out of place.
I'll take them nothing things. I didn't know there were story mode stuff.
And to think, Sony must have shelled out through the horse 'nads to have these very compelling digital items exclusive to the PS4. For 30 days 🙄
Wow they look awesome..................
I'm not even going to play Red Dead online so most of that is useless to me anyway. As long as the main game is good I'll be happy
@rjejr microtransactions are still not fine, one of the main reasons I won't be buying Assassin's Greed this year 😉
@carlos82 From this day forward I'll always read it as Assassins Greed. It already happened once w/ the new article title, no joke.
I mean still better than nothing I'd say.
Yeah, that’s bad. Not quite like Destiny’s exotic weapons and maps. That was something to get excited about. Particularly when hawkmoon was an exclusive gun.
Timed exclusive content sucks, so I'm glad that it's only minor things in this game.
It's usually little thing like this for single-player games.
Multiplayer games are a little different.
I was promised a hat.

A horse is a big deal.
What if the only alternative is a donkey?
Ha!
Not tempting me to swap my XB1 Ultimate Edition Pre-order to the PS4 version...
I'm more concerned about the stuff that's locked behind the "special" editions and pre-order bonuses like an extra gang hideout and heist mission.
@roe I think there will be a season pass as soon as the game comes out for 40 and it will have all the pre-order stuff with the season pass.
Nothing I care about so this is really good.
@kyleforrester87 All complaints should be addressed to Rockstar HQ. No refunds.
If there's ever cross-play for RDR2 I'm going to do dressage on my red chestnut in front of Xbox players online.
