The Red Dead Redemption 2 online gameplay just kicked off for anyone who owns RDR2’s Ultimate Edition, and it’s not too dissimilar from the wild west we’ve come to know in the game.
Except there’s an amazing new feature you can access online that really takes things to the next level: your horse can fly!

Yes, arguably you could call the whole flying horse scenario a ‘glitch’, but you could also call it an untapped resource we have yet to master.
Just because John Doss has not figured out how to stick the landing doesn’t mean we should write off horse-flying as a mistake. In fact, if you look closely, Rockstar Games has been teasing this feature since as early as 2010.
We weren’t ready for it then, but maybe we are ready for it now.
All I’m saying is, imagine the things you could do in a Red Dead universe where horses can fly. If that kind of innovation is not reason enough to award Red Dead Redemption 2 Game of the Year, then I don’t know what is.
