A battle royale was rumored for Red Dead Online many months before Red Dead Redemption 2's launch and a recent development confirms its existence. The mode is called Make It Count and pits 32 players against each other with bows and arrows. At this time, it isn't known if other versions of the mode exist in Red Dead Online's full map, but we'll be sure to update when more is known. We'll also be uploading gameplay footage to the official Shacknews YouTube channel.
