However, the Rockstar Games Support games account has suggested to individuals to try and clear their cache on their Xbox console in an effort to help them stop RDR2 from not working.

  • Press and hold the power button on the front of the console until the Xbox One completely shuts down
  • Once the indicator lights on the front of the Xbox One and the console’s power brick are off, disconnect the power brick from the back of your console.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds
  • Plug the power brick back into your Xbox One and turn it on
  • Boot up the game

If clearing the cache of your console does not fix the issue of Red Dead Redemption 2 Online not working then another option that you can pursue is to fill out a customer support ticket for Rockstar Games that should have a representative from the developer help solve the issue of RDR2 Online not working for you one-on-one.
