Following in the footsteps of Nintendo, Sony has announced a new plug-and-play console based on one of its classic gaming systems. While it looks just like the original PlayStation, the PlayStation Classic is 45% smaller than the original, in large part because it doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive.

The system will cost $99.99 in the US and Canada, and that gets you 20 classic games, most of which have yet to be announced. We do know that among the games will be classics like Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms. Sadly, the lack of a CD-ROM drive probably means those are the only games it will ever play, unless someone manages to hack it to do more.

The system will also include two classic PlayStation controllers for local multiplayer action, as well as a USB cable for power and a HDMI cable as well. An AC adapter will be sold at an additional cost. The console will launch on December 3, 2018, and you can pre-order it now from Best Buy.

Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 will finally be out next month. The game is going to have a core single player story but there’s also going to be an online mode for the massive open world of this title. The developer has provided some more details about the online mode for this game called Red Dead Online today. It’s going to become available this November.

Red Dead Online is described as the evolution of the classic multiplayer experience in the original Red Dead Redemption title. It blends narrative with competitive and co-op gameplay in new and exciting ways.

The foundation of this online mode is the gameplay of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the online mode will enable exploration of the open world while constant future updates will ensure that players don’t get bored of the game over time.

A confirmed release date hasn’t been provided as yet but the developer confirms today that Red Dead Online is going to be released as a public beta in November 2018. “As with most online experiences of this size and scale, there will inevitably be some turbulence at launch,” it acknowledges.

The online mode will be free to anyone who owns Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. The game itself is going to be released for these consoles on October 26th.
