Red Dead Online is giving players more cash and gold in latest update

Red Dead Online is giving players who log on before Thursday, December 20, 15 free gold bars, and an additional cash reward to certain players in it’s latest update.

The game has seen pretty regular updates since Red Dead Online’s beta was launched shortly after the release of Red Dead 2 on October 26.

Still, there is a large consensus among the Red Dead community that Online is lacking in content when compared to the single-player game, so Rockstar is once again giving fans a thank you for sticking around Online.

All players who log on to Red Dead Online before Thursday, December 20, will receive 15 gold bars completely free by December 24.

• Ultimate Edition Owners: RDO$1,000
• Everyone who pre-ordered: RDO$100 (in addition to Ultimate and Special Edition gifts)
