Yes—recent updates for Red Dead Redemption 2 have largely centered on Red Dead Online. In July 2025, Rockstar released Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1, a major Red Dead Online event that adds four Telegram Missions and runs with triple rewards through August 4, 2025. This marks the first significant online content drop in years and brings a distinct, spooky western flavor to the frontier. For detailed coverage, see Polygon’s overview of the update and ShackNews’ event breakdown. Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1 Red Dead Online: Strange Tales of the West Vol. 1 on ShackNews.

To start the new missions, collect Theodore Levin’s letter from your Camp Lockbox or any Post Office, then initiate Telegram Missions from the Satchel or Player Menu. The four missions are: Strange Tales of the Plague, Strange Tales of Modern Science, Strange Tales of the Bayou, and Strange Tales of the Wilderness. Each mission can be tackled solo or with others, and the event period features 3x rewards on Telegram Missions (plus bonuses on other activities). Guides and summaries are available from GameSpot, Push Square, and PCGamesN.

On the standalone story mode side, Rockstar has continued with smaller maintenance patches rather than new chapters in 2024–2025. For example, Title Update 1.32 (Sept 25, 2024) carried general stability fixes, while Title Update 1.25 (Jan 9, 2025) included further fixes and improvements. These are official patch notes and reflect ongoing, but modest, support for the game’s single-player experience.
