Red Dead Redemption 2 Players Call Out Rockstar Games Over New Online Update

25.05.2021 Comment Views: 976

Rockstar Games released a new Red Dead Online update today, and players of Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode aren’t impressed. Ahead of the game’s big summer update, Rockstar has released a new smaller update to PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S that doesn’t do much, but does add new races to the open-world western. Despite the new content, the update is getting slammed over on Twitter by fans of the game.

In total, the update adds eight new horse races, including point-to-point, lap, and open variants of classic races as well as target races. This is more than most weekly updates to the game, and there are of course new bonuses, discounts, and rewards, all of which you can read about here.

While this new update — which shouldn’t require a download from the player — is bigger than most of the game’s recent updates, it isn’t enough to satiate players, or at least those over on Twitter.

Responding to the official tweet announcing and linking the update, fans took to the comments to almost universally slam the update and Rockstar Games or to complain about the current state of the game, which has a had fairly quiet 2021 so far.

Make Red Dead Online Great Again

Give us something we deserve than piss poor updates! I am rank 337 in RDO and I am wanting to do more with story something larger to do online! With what you guys have been doing to RDO makes me not want to play as much. Make it worth picking up again!

What’s the Point?

Can someone tell me why R* has social media? They aren’t here to foster the RDR community. The # 1 thing they could do right now to improve this game is CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY. If they did this R* would know the majority of players didn’t ask for or want this. Ffs pic.twitter.com/QRQdKPCM9J

Lazy Rockstar

Lazy, much? Wtf Rockstar. We get 8 new races that nobody is going to play because the payout is worthless, and the discounts and bonuses (or lack there of) remain the same. Really digging deep to give your fans the big F U, aintchya?

Does Rockstar Still Care About Red Dead Online?

Please just remake Red Dead Redemption. You won’t regret it. Everyone is hungry for more red dead and you guys clearly don’t care about online anymore so just remake RDR please for the love of everything. I’d pay 200 for it.

I must admit, you did make a proper picture of how players and horses feel about the new races. *Sarcasm off* pic.twitter.com/w5eHzpzHXL
