The following day, Rockstar posted a lengthy update on the state of its live-service games, stating that it had moved development resources towards production of the next Grand Theft Auto title. As a result, Red Dead Online would no longer receive "major themed content updates like in previous years", it said, and instead would simply highlight existing content and seasonal events. Come to the mountain to have one final look before the funeral of red dead online :( #RIPRedDeadOnline #RedDeadFuneral pic.twitter.com/MArihsxTSY- hr_eev (@Walterthegent) July 12, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Fans have long been frustrated by the disparity of support between GTA and Red Dead Online. Roger Clark, the voice and performance actor for Red Dead Redemption 2's protagonist Arthur Morgan, also acknowledged the funeral in a tweet. Although today it has my sympathies I know this community will never die. #outlawsforlife- Roger Clark (@rclark98) July 13, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
