On This episode of the Downloadable Gaming Podcast we recap the stories that took place over the weekend.
Red Dead Online players have been reporting that piles of dead and burnt horses can be found throughout the game outside of major towns such as Valentine. This had led to not only something that is visually bothersome, but also causing performance issues such as frame rate drops and server disconnections. The potential cause of this problem is a duplication glitch that people in Red Dead Online have been using in order to duplicate the amount of fish they caught in their inventory.

Activision is breaking their normal Call of Duty cycle, opting to scrap Sledgehammer's scheduled 2020 title and put Treyarch's Black Ops 5 to release in 2020. This is caused after some tension between Sledgehammer Games and Raven, the studio assisting with Sledgehammer's game. Now both of these companies will be assisting with the campaign for Black Ops 5 and this also gives Treyarch only two years before their game is set to be released.
