RDR2 Special Editon delisted / Get SE content?

[HeinrichReich]

It seems like the Special Edition is delisted in psn store since they released RDR2 Online as standalone.
So now I'm wondering if it's still possible to get all SE content without purchasing the Ultimate Ed (especially those singleplayer stuff). Can you get it through ingame shop? Does DLC codes from physical versions still work? And what about ppl who already bought the SE (digital or physical): Can you reinstall the SE with all content as usual? (my guess is yes, but want to get sure ?)

yes we can download the special edition and get red dead online for free

K, that's good to know. So I can buy the cheaper SE (physical release is on discount at my local store). THX

Finally I've got a PS5 and could test this out.

It works basically, but you have to activate the special edition content in a separate menu first. For someone like me, coming straight off the PS3, this works a little bit different than what I'm used to (I guess it's more similiar on PS4). For unknown reasons, this function is also not very well documented on the playstation.com support pages. But I figured it out after all ?.

 

And knowing what I was looking for, I could also find a good description for this on ubisoft (!) help pages:

Checking if content is installed on PlayStation 5

 

And for those who are lazy to read, there is also a nice video description:

It's worth mentioning that this game isn't the only one that makes use of it ?
