5 Major Problems Rockstar Face With Red Dead Redemption 2
3. The Inevitable Impact Of GTA Online
A surprising problem that Rockstar will face is direct competition from their last big hit. GTA Online is still alive as well with 50,000 players dipping into GTA Online daily on Steam alone. Rockstar have put a lot of recourses into the online features in GTA V and are still supporting the product today, over 2 years since its release.
It remains to be seen exactly what style of online multiplayer Rockstar will introduce to their western game, but it will likely lose out to GTA Online. Red Dead Redemption 2’s online features are unlikely to impress gamers who are used to the helicopter battles and RPG duels on GTA Online.
The slower, horse-based transportation of the Red Dead series may leave a lot to be desired for most online gamers.
However, this direct competition
between two online games is a good problem for the super-rich game company.
