Rockstar Games promises that the online modes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto 5 will continue to be maintained in the coming weeks – despite the current danger from the corona virus and the countermeasures that are being taken worldwide.
Updates for GTA & Red Dead Online should not stop
This means fans of GTA Online and Red Dead Online can hope that the weekly updates for both games won't decrease in the near future. Undoubtedly good news for rock star fans who will be quarantined in the coming weeks and will not leave home for the safety of others.
To date, the community has been able to switch between the two multiplayer modes regular events and bonuses every week or even look forward to extensive content updates. For example, one of the most feared vehicles in GTA Online was recently reduced in the sale, while Red Dead Online rewarded its most loyal players with bonuses.
Rockstar Games wants to ensure the ongoing maintenance of GTA Online and Red Dead Online by taking measures to help employees with no major complications and crashes to work from home allow.
