Recently, Rockstar Games announced Red Dead Online's availability to the general public. Red Dead Online is a connected online experience set against the backdrop of Red Dead Redemption 2's massive open world. According to the studio, this new version is an evolution of the classic multiplayer experience found in Red Dead Redemption.
Red Dead Online is currently in beta and due to this has a number of issues. Aside from the world feeling somewhat barren, the multiplayer mode suffers from a bizarre in-game economy where gold watches are worth less than a can of baked beans. It seems to be balanced to encourage gold microtransactions. Luckily, Rockstar is aware of these problems and has promised a fix. A lengthy message about the in-game economy and disconnection issues was posted on Twitter today. Hopefully the economy fix will increase selling prices because they appear to be the biggest problems at the moment.
