Rockstar Games said it plans to rebalance the in-game economy of Red Dead Online in the coming weeks based on player feedback. As part of a development update on the online multiplayer mode for Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar said it will roll out a pair of updates that will focus on the in-game economy, which drew ire from players during Red Dead Online’s first week.

“Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Beta so far, we appreciate your help in testing the game,” Rockstar said on Red Dead Online’s official website. “Your feedback from these early days will be instrumental in helping formulate updates to every aspect of the experience. Our current areas of focus include the in-game economy, which will require some additional balancing in order to ensure all activities are appropriately rewarding and fun, as well as some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions.”
