Red Dead Redemption 2 Puking Glitch Lets Arthur Survive Any Fall
Rockstar's Wild West immersive sim, Red Dead Redemption 2, is about as real as triple-A games come.

In Red Dead Online news, Rockstar recently announced that the game won't be getting any more "major themed content updates" as the company pivots resources to the development
