Rockstar Games has confirmed that it plans on tweaking the in-game economy for Red Dead Online, following feedback from users during the beta for the online cowboy-'em-up.
The main issue Rockstar wants to address is to ensure that all activities in Red Dead Online are appropriately rewarded, in addition to ironing out any pesky bugs that still linger within its sprawling, Wild West-flavoured setting.
'Our current areas of focus include the in-game economy, which will require some additional balancing in order to ensure all activities are appropriately rewarding and fun, as well as some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions,' said Rockstar.
One major problem users have raised is the fact it takes a daft amount of time to nab just one gold bar, taking about eight hours. In fact, a Reddit user goes into more detail about the whole thing here.
Gold bars, in case you weren't aware, are going to be used to obtain cosmetic items. In addition, microtransactions will also be available within the Red Dead Online store at a later date. As for the next update, we should expect it by the end of the week.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in late October, and has shipped over 12 million copies worldwide. Colm absolutely loved it.
Rockstar previously revealed that Red Dead Online progress may be reset if required.
