Sometime in the next month, Rockstar plans to release a new title update for Red Dead Redemption that will counter all the hacking and cheating going on in the game.

"We'd just like to let all fans and players of Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer know that we're aware a few rotten apples persist in the online world, trying to make the experience unpleasant for everyone else," the publisher said.

"Obviously, these Multiplayer modes can be great fun when everyone is on the up-and-up, so to ensure we preserve the integrity of gameplay for all online, we are actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on."

If you're caught cheating or hacking "beyond a shadow of doubt" you will be banned from Red Dead's online world for a period of Rockstar's discretion.

This seems great news! As a gamer who doesn't actually play online on Red Dead it doesn't really effect me but for the eager people out there who just want to level up normally, it may spoil there fun. Games are made to be played legitimately, not hacked.

People who do hack games, in my opinion, do deserve to be banned for a specific time.
