In case you're running out of things to do in Red Dead Online Beta, Rockstar Games has announced a new Fishing Challenge free roam event.

The Fishing Challenge is the first event in Red Dead Online Beta's free roam rotation, and the company has provided a handy schedule that gives players a roadmap of upcoming events.

The Fishing Challenge free roam event goes live today, after which the events listed in the Red Dead Online schedule are -

  • March 20 - Free Roam Event: Fishing Challenge
  • March 26 - Target Races and additional PS4 early access content: Open Target Races
  • April 2 - Showdown Mode: Up In Smoke
  • April 9 - Showdown Mode: Plunder

These events come with special gear for the players in the form of bonuses including XP boosts, discounts, care packages, and more, along with new limited time clothing coming in and out of the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue.
