When you manage to escape a game's boundaries, there's often not much to see, sometimes there's actually nothing to see depending on what type of game it is. But in Red Dead Online on PS4 and Xbox One, there's a whole massive world waiting for you. Recently, a group of game developers -- who go by the name of The Grannies -- managed to escape the normal boundaries of the open-world western by using a well-known glitch, and what they found was a much bigger world than anticipated, a world that seemingly goes on forever.

To break through the boundaries, the group had to spend hours doing a very specific technique that's quite difficult to replicate, but can be done if you bang your head against it for long enough. Anyway, below, you can see some pictures of what the group came across:

As we moved further out, the textures started to noticeably repeat and change abruptly pic.twitter.com/Qwpm6S0Yw2

Even further out, there were no environment props, just the vast barren landscape pic.twitter.com/Inqby7soWP

Approaching the edge, it was possible to see underneath, sometimes there was water, sometimes a vast nothing pic.twitter.com/x06UB6J3QR

The geometry continues to form endlessly surprising shapes pic.twitter.com/5R6vDKS4nv

As you can see, the world beyond the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online is a strange one, a mix between otherwordly and the wild west. Anyway, there's a lot more photos, videos, and GIFs documenting the huge world from beyond, so make sure to check out Kalonica's page or the page of The Grannies to see more.

Red Dead Online is available for PS4 and Xbox One. At the moment of publishing, there's been no word of any additional ports, but a PC port has leaked multiple times, seemingly confirming it's in the pipeline.
