While it hasn’t received as much support as its predecessorGrand Theft Auto Online,Red Dead Onlinehas still proved an interesting place for players of all backgrounds to mingle in an old west setting. While the game has found itself marred in controversy before, players are currently taking time to appreciate some of its Native American customization items.
Over on Reddit, a thread discussing the Native American-themed options inRed Dead Onlineis beginning to pick up steam, with players stopping to appreciate how robust the content is, and asking Rockstar to continue to add new options for Native characters. It’s a moment of positivity for the game, which is good to see, especially considering how toxic some have attempted to make the experience. In the past, hackers have even tried to spawnKKK members inRed Dead Online,which Rockstar continues to battle with.

Elsewhere on theRed Dead OnlineReddit, players have been sharing their Native American characters, some even sharing backgrounds for their characters in addition to just their looks. Rockstar was criticized for a lack of content prior to theNaturalist update inRed Dead Online,but seeing the broad range of characters that are possible thanks to the bevy of options is a testament to its customization.
With the PS5 and Xbox Series X on the horizon, it isn’t clear how far out Rockstar will continueRed Dead Online’s lifespan.GTA 5is coming to next-gen consoles, and whileRed Deadisn’t as big of a deal, it’s still a massively popular game, so it would certainly sell. That being said, the game isn’t dated by any means, and with robust backward compatibility on both systems, there’s a chance Rockstar may just continue updating the current system, rather than selling an entirely new port.
That hasn’t stopped players from asking ifRed Dead 2will get a next-gen port, and the odds of it happening eventually do seem pretty high. It tookGrand Theft Auto 5a few years to make it to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One after its release at the end of the Xbox 360 and PS3 era, so there’s still ample time for Rockstar to make an announcement forRed Dead Redemption 2.
Regardless, Rockstar providingRed Dead Onlineplayers with new character customization options is a surefire way to keep fans coming back. Having a unique-looking character is one of the game’s biggest draws, and Rockstar should continue to capitalize on it.
Red Dead Onlineis available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
