Red Dead Online Players were so frustrated with the game’s lack of content updates that they took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with Rockstar.
For the past three days, fans have taken Rockstar to the mission on social networks, with the hashtag “bringing attention to their chagrin”SaveRedDeadOnline“It’s been trending. As of press time, there have been over 18,200 tweets using the hashtag.
The problem for players is the lack of new updates for the game, as the last bit of new content dropped in July 2021. It’s called Blood Money, and it adds homestead heists and the task of recovering private bonds known as Capitale. Added a new mission called “Crime” where you can perform heists, hijack a coach, kidnap, collect debts, and more for clues on where to find Capitale.
Updates to the game have come in the form of new modes and missions since July, but lately, players have only been rewarded for getting in trouble, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Especially since GTA Online has received two sizable updates in the past six months – Los Santos Tuner and the latest contract starring Dr. Dre.
Herein lies the problem, according to the Red Dead Online community, many of whom believe Rockstar is more concerned with adding fresh content to GTAO than its online cowboy romp.
Fans were also unhappy with Rockstar’s lack of communication, and called on the developers to provide at least a roadmap so players know what to expect from the game going forward.
Here’s what some members of the Twitter community have to say about the current situation – it’s worth noting that many reddit users are equally frustrated, with PC Gamer’s Lauren Morton even touching on the topic of mediocre content last week.
#SaveRedDeadOnline It’s a shame this game has been neglected when there is so much potential.It’s really like the wild west right now because there’s nothing to do and no one to play pic.twitter.com/tB84SGNQaV

Red Dead Online will not be updated as it will not allow Rockstar to make money. But it doesn’t make money because they don’t update it.
Fans have a list of great update ideas here. https://t.co/nCV1t1RACZ
No updates, no bullion purchases.#SaveRedDeadOnline

Not sorry for the rant. I’m tired of seeing the objectively best open world games to date keep getting shitted and ignored by developers because they’re too busy milking it to take care of it.

I apologize for my rant, but I’ve waited a long time for them to ride this amazing game. Rockstar made a lot of promises back in 2018 that it would continue to evolve, but apparently it wasn’t.
It’s been two years since this behavior had to be brought up. This is ridiculous and outrageous.

Remind us of what we are striving for:
RDO doesn’t even need a new update to keep everyone happy. We need a decent roadmap and know if we can really have high hopes for this game. If the game’s fate is to die and be truly abandoned, we want to know!#SaveRedDeadOnline pic.twitter.com/ZRnNMVttN5

They don’t even realize how much more money they can make from RDO. Or maybe they will, just don’t care. But anyway, we got a new pair of socks! 🙏🏻 #SaveRedDeadOnline pic.twitter.com/qvfoRB0Vnn

We know it’s not your fault, so please don’t think we’re targeting you. person in charge (2)

#SaveRedDeadOnline This game deserves more content, better content.Modes that I don’t even really care about won’t get a month-long bonus after I’ve played a few call-to-battle games
