Red Dead Online is now available to the vast majority of Red Dead Redemption 2 players, and while some may be running into server issues and other problems, those who are able to get into a game may be wondering how they can start playing with their friends. Well, there are some prerequisites players have to complete before they can start playing Red Dead Redemption 2 with their friends online, so they shouldn’t expect to just jump into a game with them right away.
