Rockstar Games just sweetened the pot in Red Dead Online by awarding extra RDO$ and XP for bombastic Name Your Weapon and Up in Smoke Showdown modes. As some cowboys holster their revolvers for an easy RDO$$reward, most fans appear way more interested in the punching-as-in-wattage-level question of: when will Rockstar finally get off their behinds and release GTA 6, or rather, why are they not remastering GTA IV already?

Well, the Rockstar-tweet bonus announcement for Red Dead Online was met with… let’s say very little love for the actual stuff. The comments rang forth for GTA6, Turkish support, patches for current or next-gen platforms, and jokes of GTA7 even before a GTA6 trailer is out. That’s gamer impatience for you.

One user told Rockstar: “Literally nobody cares” about this Red Dead Online update, while another desperately pleaded, “Give us RDR2 update.” Turkish fans exploded over a massive demand for GTA 6 localization, throwing hashtags like #WeWantGTA6inTurkish everywhere. Others tagged Rockstar’s Turkish handle begging for subtitles or full localization.

For all those thirsting for an announcement from the GTA IV remaster herd: one fan cried, “GTA IV to PS5 😩😩😩😩,” while another lamented sarcastically with, “Mana katanya mau remaster game jadulnya” (which means, “Where’s that old game remaster you promised?”). Feels like the entire Rockstar and fan community is trying to keep Red Dead Online alive with weekly bonuses-but in the meantime, GTA 6, remasters, or anything new is firmly in the limelight.

Some actually tried to engage with the Red Dead Online news, throwing around ideas like crossplay, a 60fps patch, and fixes for annoying glitches: The bottom line with the whole bunch was, “Cool, but where’s the REAL news?”

Double rewards in Red Dead Online were running until Rockstar tried to say, “Come on! Double that!” but got crushed by the GTA 6 hype train. The very thing the fans can now smile for is a full-blown GTA 6 trailer or at least a promise that Turkish gamers won’t be left out. Or else, prepare for sarcastic comments, desperate hashtags, and continued jokes on, “GTA 7 when???
