Is the Special Edition worth it over the Standard Edition?

Can I play Red Dead Online with this edition?

Yes. Red Dead Online access is included, along with the Special Edition's online bonuses.

What are the PC system requirements?

Rockstar lists a minimum around a GTX 770 or RX 470 with 8 GB RAM, and recommends a GTX 1060 or RX 480 with 12 GB RAM. Plan on roughly 115 GB of free storage.

Does it support online play with friends?

Yes. Red Dead Online supports playing with friends in posses, and the story mode is single-player only.
