A new update for the game is now available on PS4 and Xbox One, and along with making general stability improvements and other fixes, it enables <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/red-dead-2-online-microtransactions-to-let-you-buy/1100-6463486/">microtransactions</a>.</p><p>As Rockstar detailed on its <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60762/Red-Dead-Online-Beta-Status-Update-Dec-14?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=rdobeta-update-12142018&utm_content=newswire">blog</a>, Red Dead Online's in-game store is now live as part of the latest update, giving players the option to purchase gold using real-world money.
