Update: We've now got a date! Red Dead Online will leave Xbox Game Pass on September 13.
Original story: Another game bites the dust on Xbox Game Pass, as Red Dead Online has now been confirmed to be leaving the service soon.
The game is listed within the leaving soon section on the Xbox Game Pass app, along with four others that are also leaving today. While there's no confirmed date for when Red Dead Online will be removed from the service, we assume it will be around the middle of September.
Much like Rockstar Games' previous titles, it hasn't been part of Xbox Game Pass for very long. Although, the short bursts in Game Pass seem to have signalled success for the developer so far, as Grand Theft Auto V recently left after a four-month stint and later skyrocketed up the best-sellers chart in the UK.
Perhaps Rockstar is hoping to see the same boost from Red Dead Online, which is available to purchase separately outside of Red Dead Redemption 2? Time will tell whether the strategy is a success.
Are you sad to see Red Dead Online leave already? Drop us a comment and let us know.

Unpopular opinion but i hope this one flop hard. We don't need another 'gta online' accomplishment.
I bought online only for £3.49 and have only played it for around 2 hrs. I actually only realised rdo was even on gamepass 2 weeks ago.
No not really, while I do own rdr2 I haven't played in months I've been waiting for the housing/property update before I play again.
Removed - trolling/baiting
I've just started to plat RDO and it looks like good fun. Basically if you loved free roaming around in the main game doing side activities it's that, but online along with multiplayer matches. It seems pretty chill for the most part, but I wish I had friends who played too.
Shame it's leaving Game Pass, but that seems to be par for the course for R* as they use it more like a trial than expect people to play purely through GP. At least RDR2 is widely available second hand.
