Red Dead Online players hold #RedDeadFuneral after Rockstar moves resources to GTA 6
Red Dead Online support is pretty much coming to an end and its playerbase is joining together to celebrate the game with a farewell funeral.
In the eyes of Red Dead Redemption 2 fans, its multiplayer component –Red Dead Online– has had the short end of the stick for years now, and the announcement that it will receive no major content updates is the final nail in the coffin.
It’s no secret that the success of Grand Theft Auto 5 has been astronomical, withGTA Onlinehelping that immensely, but there has been a giant disparity between the support for each online title.
The hashtag #RedDeadFuneral has been doing the rounds since Rockstar announced on July 19, 2025, that Red Dead Online devs would beshifting their focus towards GTA 6.
Grand Theft Auto 6is quite one the most anticipated games in history, but this is seemingly no consolation to Red Dead Online fans.
To show appreciation for Red Dead Online and commemorate its legacy, one of the most popular Tweets for the hashtag encouraged players to “login in today, and have a few beers at either Valentine or Blackwater Graveyard.”
Today is the day the community is paying it’s respects to a game that many of us love, and wish had gotten more love from Rockstar. So login in today, and have a few beers at either Valentine or Blackwater Graveyard.#RedDeadFuneral#RedDeadOnlinepic.twitter.com/izTf3IQ5NS
With time to reflect on the state of the game and how it got to this point, there’s been some definite disappointment with regards to its content drops. One Tweetsaid: “It’s now been 1 year since Red Dead Online received a DLC (Blood Money).”
Another user boldlyclaimed: “This game had so much potential, and it was squandered. If they had added properties, more vehicles, more jobs (prospecting would’ve been nice), and social events, it could’ve been the greatest social game of all time.”
