What should be the release date and year for these games?

Grand Theft Auto Online

Red Dead Online

After seeing these in another thread, at first I wondered if they should have a new page, because they were part of the GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 games, online components of these games, not a game on their own. Lots of games have "online mode" after all, they don't get seperate title pages.

But apparently these two is getting standalone releases and become independent games, so that justifies having seperate title pages I guess.

Read Dead Online became a standalone game in

GTA Online will become a standalone game in March 2022: https://blog.playstation.com/2021/09/09/gtav-and-gta-online-now-coming-to-ps5-march-2022/

Since they become a game of their own on these dates, should these title pages have these dates and title year? Previously they were just a part, a component, a feature of the GTA V and RDR 2 after all, not a game on their own.

Hi mbmb -

The Release Date for these title's should reflect the date as to when the online version became it's own separate game.  I have also requested an update to our Help Guides to address this unique and specific release details.

Cheers!
