Rockstar, the renowned video game developer, has recently released an exciting new update specifically designed for the PC iteration of Red Dead Online. This online multiplayer feature is an integral part of the critically acclaimed open-world series known as Red Dead Redemption 2. If you are a PC gamer looking for an immersive and thrilling multiplayer experience in the wild west, this update from Rockstar is an absolute must-have. Stay tuned for further details and embark on an epic adventure in Red Dead Online’s immersive world.
Developer Rockstar Games has released a new update for Red Dead Online, the open-world multiplayer component of Red Dead Redemption 2. The new update is exclusively for the PC version of Red Dead Online, and should be available for all PC players as of January 31, 2024.
Like the base game of Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online was originally exclusive to consoles when it launched in 2018. When the PC version launched in 2019, players were given a chance to tackle the huge world of Red Dead Online with the benefit of beefy PC hardware that could greatly outstrip the performance ceilings of then-current consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
What does the latest Red Dead Online PC patch do?
The latest update for the game appears to be addressing some PC-exclusive instability. According to the official Red Dead Online PC patch notes for January 31, 2024, the new update is categorized under "Game Stability and Performance." Rockstar's patch addressed "several issues" related to causing crashes in Red Dead Online. The patch notes were not specific about what, exactly, those issues were.
The community's reaction, however, may hold a clue about the patch's effects. In the wake of the patch, at least one user on the Red Dead Online subreddit suggested that they were no longer experiencing crashes related to using fast travel and the wilderness camp. Twitter user Tez2 suggested in a post that the patch also addressed a method used by cheaters to cause other players' games to crash shortly after loading. Cheaters have been a persistent problem in Red Dead Online, so if some of the crash issues are related to a method they exploited, then the lack of detail in the patch notes might make sense.
