The Red Dead Redemption 2 player who managed to clock up almost 6,000 hours on Google Stadia won't lose all that progress after all.

Last month, Google announced it's p♛lanning to pull the plug on its gaming service, Stadia, in January 2023. One player particularly distraught over this news was a YouTuber by the name of Colour, who's played Red Dead Online on Stadia for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:just shy of 6,000 hours. Desperate to avoid having to start 💞over on another platform, he contacted Rockstar saying, "Please let us do a one-time character transfer I am begging you." Now it appears Rockstar has taken pity on the unfortunate player and agreed to help him and others who face losing progress due to Stadia's closure.

In a tweet, Colour revealed he's now received confirmation from the company that he and all those who played the game within 30 days of Stadia announcing its shut𝔉down would be able to transfer their progression and currency to either PC, Xbox One or PS4.

Colour is, as you'd expect, overjoyed at Rockst👍ar's decision. In a , he wrote. "I doubt this would have been possible if it weren't for all of the creators and gaming journalists that picked up my story and raised awareness. I have all of you to thank as you have helped save an entire community of players from losing all their o𝓡nline progress."
