Red Dead Online players have been reporting a series of strange glitches that have rendered the game “unplayable.” The glitches, which seem to only be affecting Xbox One players, result in all NPCs and animals disappearing from the game.
Some of the issues include horses not spawning when you call them, no animals to hunt and none of the townsfolk to interact with. Some players are even complaining that the game just crashes when they try to play.
Over on Twitter, players are expressing their disappointment at what’s been happening.
@RockstarGames Red Dead Online on Xbox is unplayable right now. No NPCs, no animals. My horse won’t even spawn. Been this way for a while. Missing out on all the extra XP. Pretty disappointing. #RDR2

People are pretty mad at Rockstar right now, with hundreds of users taking to social media to vent their frustration.
@RockstarSupport All Xbox One players have problems right now on Red Dead Online Beta! No animals, no NPC, the horse does not come when called, the game crash.
No need to tell us to clear the cache. Consider the issues on Xbox One seriously. #RDO #RedDeadOnlineBeta

So far there’s been no official comment from Rockstar, but the game’s next update is set to launch at the end of this week. Hopefully there’ll be a fix for Xbox One players…
For now, there are some workarounds that players have reportedly found success with.
You can’t just auto tweet the same thing every time someone has the same problem. You know what the problem is and decided to act stupid til the 26th until the update comes out. pic.twitter.com/GyL1DiCGBi
