Rockstar Games recently announced the end of Red Dead Online updates, and players are mourning the multiplayer Wild West adventure by holding in-game funerals. The online component of Red Dead Redemption 2 lets players create their own character and set off into the American frontier for cooperative and competitive gameplay. Rockstar Games recently announced that no more Red Dead Online updates are planned, with the developer instead focusing on creating Grand Theft Auto 6.
Red Dead Online was a very ambitious project, but it never quite lived up to fan expectations. The multiplayer title gives players a massive Wild West sandbox to explore, with the game world matching the impressive detail featured in RDR2's map. Red Dead Online also includes a storyline for players to experience, with their player character encountering all manner of outlaws and frontier folk. Players can adopt different careers, like bounty hunting or animal trapping, which adds even more variety to the experience. Unfortunately, a lack of regular updates means that the online game's playerbase quickly began to dwindle following its 2019 launch. With Red Dead Online updates officially dead, players can only mourn the game's grand potential.
