Since the game was released, it sadly hasn’t had the same support as Rockstar Games’ previous major title, Grand Theft Auto 5. Whereas GTA 5’s online content has been steady since its 2013 release, Red Dead Redemption 2’s online has lacked the same support. In fact, the developer confirmed that support for the Red Dead Redemption 2’s online content will start to wind down throughout the rest of the year. What is abundantly clear, however, is that the fans still support the game in their own way.

In a recent post, Reddit user RedRonnie shared a rather cool barrel on the Red Dead Redemption 2 page. The barrel in question was covered in Red Dead Redemption 2 stickers with a lantern, a pistol, and several other Old West supplies on top of it. Inside the barrel is a set of mugs with several bottles of liquor below it. It could be that at some point RedRonnie may end up recreating Red Dead Redemption 2’s hilarious drunk Lenny scene.
Since the game was released fans have created their own tributes to Red Dead Redemption 2 similar to RedRonnie’s barrel. One, for example, made their own version of the cigarette card collection found in the Red Dead game. Tributes like these have even found their way into the koozie industry.
Earlier this month someone discovered a Texas koozie with a set of cowboys on it. The coloring and placement of the cowboys made it clear that the inspiration for the koozie came from Red Dead Redemption. However, despite these kinds of tributes, it could be that this particular game franchise might be going the way of the film western.
Despite the dedication of fans like RedRonnie, the Red Dead Redemption franchise is clearly not as big of a priority for Rockstar as Grand Theft Auto. Reports have indicated that the company isn’t adding any new patches for the Red Dead Redemption 2’s PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions. In addition, reports have also been circulating that planned remasters for the first game as well as Grand Theft Auto 4 had been scrapped in favor of the upcoming GTA installment. What is clear, however, is that Red Dead Redemption 2’s fanbase remains even if Rockstar is seemingly moving away from it. Only time will if the developers will do anything more with the open-world western game.
Red Dead Redempton 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
