Red Dead Online's beta is now in full swing, but Rockstar Games has warned players that their progress may be reset at any point if the need should arise.

The beta began rolling out for owners of the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 yesterday, and will eventually make its way to everyone who has a copy of the critically acclaimed cowboy-'em-up.

However, Rockstar has warned that issues may crop up that requires progress to be reset during the beta.

'We hope that all player progress during this early period of the beta will be able to remain intact long term,' said the developer, 'however as with many betas for large scale online experiences such as this, there is always the chance that we may need to implement rank or other stat resets in case of issues.'

From the sound of things, Red Dead Online will remain in beta form for as long as it takes. To be precise, Rockstar has said that it 'may take several weeks or months.'

'We are aiming to deliver a stable and fun experience while collecting as much crucial information and feedback as possible to help us continually improve Red Dead Online.'

Red Dead Online has a wealth of different modes to tuck into, including the Battle Royale-style Make It Count.
