Red Dead Online
The closure of Google Stadia can have significant effects on those who have invested heavily in its games, beyond the refunds announced by the company, as evidenced by the case of a youtuber who has invested 6000 hours in the Stadia version of Red Dead Online game and now fears to lose everything, asking for the possibility of transferring the bailouts.As we have seen, Google has decided to close Stadia in January 2023, also proposing an unprecedented refund program that will allow all users to get their money back spent on subscription and games in these three years of service activity.
This is an initiative never seen before and very positive for consumers, but there are still some aspects that remain unsolved in such a drastic decision.
The youtuber Color, for example, pointed out how his 6000 hours of gameplay in Red Dead Online will be inexorably lost if Rockstar does not provide a save transfer program from Google Stadia to another, as other publishers such as Ubisoft intend to do with its titles and Bungie with Destiny 2, at least in the announced intentions.
The youtuber in question made himself known online thanks to his marathons on Red Dead Online, which led him to accumulate over 5900 hours of play on the Rockstar title Games. This activity has also helped to keep the community lively and compact, staging multiplayer game sessions and knowing several users about the game.
These almost 6000 hours of gameplay are in short a great wealth of experiences, which Color risks losing completely with the closure of Google Stadia. For this reason he has asked Rockstar to propose a system of transfer of the rescues that allows not to disperse data and progress made, but at the moment there is no information on a transfer program by the team.

Red Dead Online Is Bringing Last Year's Halloween Pass Back Again
After a year without much in the way of new content, Red Dead Online has confirmed it'll be running a Halloween event in 2022. Unfortunately the event won't include any new themed cosmetics, with Rockstar instead re-running last year's Halloween pass.
The new content for this Halloween includes a new Hardcore Telegram Mission, which is set to drop on October 18. Accessed through a Post Office or the Camp Lockbox, the new Hardcore mission comes from Ike Skelding, who has discovered a sinister cult practicing necromantic rituals. Completing this mission, or any of Skelding's other Hardcore Telegram Missions will reward players with triple Gold, RDO$, and XP until October 31.

Now Playing: Red Dead Online: The Halloween Pass 2 Trailer
Rockstar is also bringing back its Halloween themed Call To Arms event for October, with new All Hallows locations rewarding triple RDO$ and XP. Features introduced in last year's All Hallows Call To Arms will be returning, including the Ghost Train and Night Stalker masks, with three new maps added to the mode--Heartland Oil Fields, Limpany, and the Saint Denis Graveyard. Players who participate in the All Hallows Call To Arms will unlock four free Gun Oil.
While the new event won't be bringing any new cosmetics, last year's Halloween Pass 2 will be making a return, giving anyone who didn't collect the items last year a new chance to unlock them. Anyone who already purchased the Pass last year but didn't complete it will pick up where they left off, and everyone who unlocks all tiers of the pass (including those who did so last year) will get the Hired Gun Kit: a pack containing the Fierro Bandana, ammo and consumables, and 5 Gold Bars worth of Capitale.
Also returning are two Halloween-themed Featured Series: Fear of the Dark and Dead of the Night. Fear of the Dark sees players facing off against supernaturally strong Night Stalkers, with the option to collect the Night Stalkers' skull masks from across the battlefield in order to power up their own attacks. Dead of the Night pits four teams against each other as well as a horde of the dead, with players scoring points for taking out either PC or NPC enemies.
Dead of Night will be playable between October 4 and 10, and again between October 18 and 24, while Fear of the Dark will be active from October 11 to 17, and October 25 to 31.
Freebies and bonuses this month include a free community outfit, two Potent Health Cures per week for logging in, and login bonuses of 2 Potent Snake Oil, 3 pieces of Big Game Meat, and 25 Capitale for the week of Halloween. Players can also unlock the red mane and tail customization for free all month, as well as enjoying 50% off Haircuts, Dentistry, Makeup, and all hunting knife customizations.
The Manhunt bounty hunter event will be rewarding double Gold, RDO$, and XP throughout October, and you can also redeem double rewards on The Bluewater Contract and the Covington Emerald Blood Money Opportunity.
