I thought rdr2 requires a constant internet connection even for single player ? Is that not the case ?
So, this is frustrating, but Steam does surface this stuff in the Steam Deck Compatibility info section. I wish they would make this more plainly visible so that I can avoid buying games that do stupid stuff, but perhaps it's in their best interest to bury it like they do.

Ah got it … I recently bought it on steam and after launching it asked me to create a new “rockstar social” account … I immediately refunded it… as someone who recently jumped into pc gaming after being console only for ages , this seemed weird and I don’t know, maybe something to do with the word “social” in the name of the account threw me off I guess … I wrongly assumed it would be always online even for single player … anyway I don’t feel like buying it now … maybe when there’s another sale.
