Red Dead Redemption 2 was a long-awaited addition to Rockstar’s library of games upon its initial release in 2018. Now, three years and a pandemic later, the base game itself and the online multiplayer mode Red Dead Online (RDO) continue to capture players’ attention through the story, characters, and open world exploration that Red Dead Redemption has come to be known for. Since 2018 and over the course of the pandemic, players have found ways to explore an in-depth world and connect with friends through the game’s two iterations.
With the story mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 presenting a vast in-game world and the online version expanding offerings to players who are looking for more, it's no surprise that players keep turning to the game as the pandemic drags on, both for escape and connection. KawaiiValentine, a variety Twitch streamer, shared what playing Red Dead Online did for her, especially during the early part of quarantine:
