I have the Game of the Year Edition on PS3 and I just got a PS4.

I also heard PS4 users can now play RDR.

Is there a way I can get it for free or do I have to pay for it?

@Zantozzzz: Its a PSNow game, which means its streamed to you, its not on PS4.

@GTR12: Could you explain more about "streaming" the game?

It's Sony's "backwards compatibility". Its a subscription service. Your ps3 copy means nothing to the ps4.

It works like netflix, but with games. You pay for the service and get access to games like RDR that stream to your computer over the internet. When you stop paying for the service, you lose the ability to stream the titles

Its Netflix, but for games. You have to pay, the PS3 copy is worthless for the PS4. @drrollinstein explained it.

@Zantozzzz: $100 USD for a 1 year subscription.

PS+ is separate, I don't know what it is for the US, its $70 AUD here.

Please note that streaming services like this are heavy on internet bandwidth - your experience may be poor if your connection is slow. You used to be able to test your connection's "compatibility" via the store on your playstation - I imagine this is still the case. There is also a free trial, so you could give that a try before paying as well
