Thankfully, Rockstar confirmed that allRed Dead Onlineplayers who had logged into the Stadiaversion within the 30 days prior to Stadia announcing its shutdown.

OneRed Dead Onlineplayer, juice716, posted a clip to Reddit captioned “have you ever seen a horse attempt a backflip?” It begins with the outlaw chasing a wagon before violently colliding with a rocky hill they had hoped to easily traverse. The impact dismounts them, landing with enough force to reduce their health by a quarter, and an ally is seen safely navigating the same hill. But as the player gets up and approaches, their horse briefly gallops forward before performing a backflip out of nowhere. The hilarious moment stuns the player, who just watches as their now dead horse just slides down the hill.Red Dead Redemption 2is no stranger to weird interactionsand players have been known to spot horses or NPCs go flying when hit at the right angle.
A comment joked that they should rename their horse Roach, the name Geralt of Rivia gives every steed he owns.The Witcher 3’s Roach became infamous for getting stuck behind fences or on top of houses, so much so thatCD Projekt Red immortalized the meme with a cardinGwent.
Thankfully, horses inRed Dead Onlinedo not stay dead forever. Simply waiting or using a Horse Reviver will see an outlaw’s steed return to their side, but that does not meanRed Dead Onlineplayers will not seek justice for their horseif necessary.
