On 13th July, Red Dead Online received an update called Blood Money<\/a> that added a number of features to the game (such as new clothing, passes and missions), but it seemingly changed something rather unexpected under the hood. The game’s horses have been acting a little strange, and in some cases, are now causing terrible accidents by colliding with players. Perhaps this is all an unofficial sequel to Spirit. <\/p>\n

As spotted by Kotaku<\/a>, players have taken to social media to discuss the strange horse behaviour and share footage of the bugs. There are seemingly just a lot of player horses roaming through Red Dead Online, with players speculating<\/a> that the horses are being left behind once players leave the lobby. Others suspect that the culprit could be a horse-cloning bug that occurs when the player enters a stable. There have even been reports of players finding AI clones of their own characters<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In any case, the abundance of horses is causing mayhem, with players colliding with the rogue horses and being sent flying from their own saddles<\/a>. Rather more tragically, some of the player horses are simply being found dead<\/a>. <\/p>\n
