Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in 2018 to a tremendous response from the gaming community. It told a story that took everyone by surprise. It allowed players to live and breathe the wild west. It also allowed them to buy weapons, customize them, break horses, fish legendary fishes and hunt legendary beast like animals.

If that was not enough, players were quickly given access to its multiplayer mode RDR Online. The service was not as popular as GTA Online, but it still stood out. This game launched for pretty much every major console besides Nintendo Switch, even the ill-fated Google Stadia.

Now that Google Stadia is no more, this game is gone with it and took all the progress gamers made in its online mode. But it appears Rockstar Games had something else in mind!

Most Dedicated Red Dead Redemption 2 Online players get a surprise from Rockstar Games!

RDR Online is basically an MMORPG. People progress in it by performing quests, they earn a very small amount of money. If they want to buy something, they either save the money they earned or buy that stuff with real money. This means that people either invest a lot of time in that game, or a lot of money.

And both stand pretty valuable nowadays. And it appears Rockstar Games knows this too.

So, when players lost all their progress in the RDR Online of the Stadia version of the game, Rockstar allowed them to transfer all their characters with everything they had to another platform. But only if they had played RDR Online on Google Stadia up to 30 days prior to the announcement of its closure.

It is a pretty generous thing indeed, as Rockstar usually does not pay any attention to these kinds of issues. Once this was done, it appears they noticed something very curious.

Amongst the players who lost their RDR online progress, there was a gamer who had spent a whooping 6000 hours of his life on this game. With its transfer solution, Rockstar prevented that time from going in vain but also did something special for the player.

This streamer who goes by ItsColourTV on Twitter revealed that the developer sent him a box full of RDR 2 merch. This includes a bunch of T-shirts a tankard and a lot of other Red Dead Redemption 2-themed stuff.
