Wishing we got more profound updates...

I come back and play online a few times a year and compared to GTA 5 online, RDR2 online just feels like a neglected child. Like I understand more players are into GTA than RDR but if you see the updates and events side by side, it is just disappointing. They haven't added much to the game either over the years and people wonder why so many stopped playing after the first few years.

Yeah it sucks cause I actually prefer RDR2 online vs GTA 5 online. I just don't see this game getting anything major for it outside of an upgrade for the graphics and maybe some new edition that includes some stuff for the newer consoles.

I think this is the case for me too. Like GTA is fun and all, don't get me wrong but RDR is so much more relaxing and exciting at the same time. It doesn't help that I hate city life either lol

I think they started to sunset the game's online end. I mean I don't understand why. It think they would have retained a lot of players if they treated it the same as GTA 5 with new DLC twice a year and weekly updates. We only seem to get discounts and seasonal events now which sucks.

Keep wishing. I think they just basically gave up with RDR online. Like it doesn't matter that there are still tons of people playing the game. Like I think there are 35k+ most weeks on Steam alone.

Sad truth right here. They just don't care. I don't know if they expected it to be as big as GTA online or what. It was never going to be but it still has PLENTY of people and life left in it but they just ignore it.

I have not played in awhile, since like 2022 and coming back and not seeing much added if anything? Yeah it is quite disappointing. Rockstar really dropped the fn ball with this game. Shame on them.

I don't think they have added anything "new" since 2022. It is all the same stuff in rotation. So we will see holiday/seasonal stuff but that is about it.

It is more chill for sure. I guess certain aspects are exciting but for me that part wore off awhile ago. Now I just play this game when I want to relax. Just sucks online is terrible since other players like to terrorize you lol

I think they look at profits more than players. GTA 5 obviously brought them in more money and probably continues to even though it is an older game than this one.
