“I can’t believe one of the best games of our generation hasn’t gotten a Next Gen patch yet. Rockstar Management is something else.
At least give us a patch for Story Mode Rockstar, something that made RDR2 great and a masterpiece.”

Great community, great graphics and gameplay elements.
Have many content creators willing to support
but potential waste by R*…
R* are now EA twins.
I hope Microsoft is willing to buy intellectual property from RDR.”

As we already mentioned, Red Dead Online still active. However, in the absence of new content and after this funeral, it is very likely that the number of active players will gradually decrease. The only one who can revive this game is Rockstar, and it seems that at the moment there are no intentions to do this.
On related topics, it seems that the next-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 It was canceled. Similarly, remasters of GTA IV Y Red Dead Redemption also suffered the same fate.
Editor’s note:
It’s a real shame what has happened to Red Dead Online. It’s clear that GTA has a higher priority for the company, but they could very well commit a small team to continue creating content for this game.
