is RDR2 cross platform, or has to be through steam?

As far as I've been able to find out, RDR2 players on PC can play with one another, regardless of whether they're using Steam or Epic or whatever else there is out there.

I wonder what the connection would be like for me. Arma was never that bad but its heavily optimised for online play.

Cool, I'll be there on Saturday! Does RDR2 handle all the voice chat or do we need something external? And would you perhaps want to send a message to the Steam chat? I don't know if Jesh and Malf read along here.

Done!
Yes there's voice chat. Let's see how it works before resorting to external chat.
And you might wanna do the multiplayer intro/tutorial ahead of time. Altho I think you can skip it?

I've got RDR2, but I haven't messed with the online part beyond making a character for it and maybe an hour of the tutorial part. So I may need some guidance.
I might also mention for the record -- well first I'm not proposing this necessarily any time soon, but it's something interesting to know is out there -- I was into GTA V roleplay for a while, and there's a version of it for RDR2 as well. Long story short, people have modded online platforms in which other people have coded in all kinds of online mechanics and countless mods you can wrench into them so that you could make your own custom-made online game or missions that are greatly more open ended or varied than what you get in the vanilla game, as well as just flat-out open ended roleplay. They can be pretty fun. Even something as simple as team cop vs. robber chases can be pretty fun. But it is more labor intensive setting it up for everyone joining. But if we keep coming back to this, it might be interesting to look into later on down the trail.

I'm currently away, and the last few weeks have been very busy, but might 9/4 be an option for some more cowboy shenanigans?

Sadly, I failed to find a good animated GIF of Alan Rickman rolling his eyes, captioned “Americans...”
