#RedDeadFuneral is trending on Twitter as fans memorializeRed Dead Online, the multiplayer online expansion ofRed Dead Redemption 2.
On July 22, 2025, Rockstar Games gaveRed Dead Onlinefans new content with theBlood Moneyupdate. Since then, the community has waited patiently for more substantial updates, but received next to nothing. On Wednesday, fans declared the game deceased, inviting each other to log into the game to drink at Valentine and Blackwater Graveyard and post screenshots of their characters dressed in black and paying their respects to the game on social media.

The sorrowful gesture follows a statement Rockstar gave in ablog postlast week confirming it won’t be adding new material toRed Dead Onlinein an effort to shift its focus to the development ofGrand Theft Auto 6.It won’t be sunsettingRed Dead Onlineper se, but rather it will continue to support the game by building on existing material and adding new Telegram Missions in lieu of adding new story content.
“Alongside seasonal special events and experience improvements — plus other changes to enhance and maintain a healthyRed Dead Onlineenvironment — we plan to build upon existing modes and add new Telegram Missions this year, rather than delivering major themed content updates like in previous years,” the developer said.
It’s possible that the popularity ofGTA Online— as well as Rockstar going full throttle onGrand Theft Auto 6— may have overshadowedRed Dead OnlinesinceGTA Onlinewas tied toGrand Theft Auto 5, which came out five years beforeRed Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar’s priorities were clear when it launchedGTA+forGTA Onlineearlier this year, allowing players to enjoy the benefits that came with subscribing to the game — a privilege that wasn’t extended toRed Dead Online.
Red Dead Online‘s player base has decreased as of late, sure, but Rockstar’s lack of support has left dedicated fans feeling burned. Imbalance is the real tragedy that brought fans out to the graveyard today.
