Red Dead Online players may lose progress during the beta

4
Rockstar has revealed that progress made during the Red Dead Online beta may be lost come launch.

The Red Dead Online beta, which kicked off yesterday, is gradually allowing more and more players in – all the way until Friday.

To set player expectations and prepare everyone for what’s to come, Rockstar penned a blog post explaining what’s going to be available now in the beta, and what’s yet to come.

At the very end of the post, Rockstar warned players that progress made during the Red Dead Online beta may not be permanent. Though the developer didn’t definitively say if it has plans to reset everyone’s progress, it warned that this could happen.

“We hope that all player progress during this early period of the Beta will be able to remain intact long term,” wrote Rockstar.

“However, as with many betas for large scale online experiences such as this, there is always the chance that we may need to implement rank or other stat resets in case of issues.”


This is the same post where we also learned that the game’s gold bars will be sold for real-world money at some point soon. Microtransactions are not yet live at the time of writing.

Rockstar never announced an end date for the Red Dead Online beta.

This is really annoying. I remember dealing with this on gta online, I think I made about 4 different characters and played through the intro 4 times.
The second character I created was a super high level for the beginning of the game but it got reset and I got annoying and didn't play it serious after that

Progress should be kept... it's not as easy to come by, I've played for many of hours and I'm hardly that far through, would be interesting to keep, Yes it's a beta but even then, it would make since because it requires a good amount of time currently to actually level up lol
