Red Dead Online has kept the vast majority of players entertained long after they finished the compelling campaign of the cowboy based Red Dead Redemption 2. The online experience swaps the immersive campaign of the offline game for more task-driven endeavors, and to achieve a constant source of excitement Red Dead Online has had many updates. However, a recent update seems to have broken a considerable amount of the game and its mechanics. Players have now compiled a huge list of the titles issues.
Recently Read Dead Online released The Naturalist update after a sustained period of silence and it has split fan opinion. Some fans felt that the new tasks were boring and predictable and while this may have been subjective, the glitches that players are experiencing in the wake of the update are objectively irritating. Many have found themselves losing their horses and elements of gameplay that were commonplace have gone completely missing. In response, players are creating a very large list of bugs.
The list is considerable and reflects poorly on a game that many have enjoyed in the past. While Rockstar Games has made a considerable amount of money from its online titles, it may wish to look into these problems before players grow tired of the issues that are damaging the experience. The issues in Red Dead Online include camps that aren't pitchable, horses disappearing while being ridden, and perhaps most importantly PS4 saved data becoming corrupted.
Many will hope that the issues are quickly addressed and it will likely be beneficial for all parties involved to provide a fix quickly. However, pulling resources to these significant glitches may mean that future updates take more time and the period between new content has already been a point of contention in the title. While some elements of the update to Red Dead Online have been beneficial, the bugs and glitches are currently overshadowing the hard work of the team behind the title.
Rockstar Games is part of one of the largest gaming conglomerates in the world (Take-Two Interactive) and will undoubtedly be able to fix these problems. However, with the considerable amount of issues that feature on this list, it may take time to address and could damage the reputation of The Naturalist update on Red Dead Online.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PC, Stadia, PS4, and Xbox One.
