Red Dead Redemption 2 was launched again in 2018 on PS4 and Xbox One. It’s a very good open-world Wild West game developed and printed by Rockstar Video games. And over six years later, this unbelievable online game, which bought a PC port in 2019, has but to obtain a PS5/Collection X replace. In the meantime, Rockstar not too long ago confirmed that 2010’s Purple Lifeless Redemption will, the truth is, get a pleasant improve. Life is merciless like that typically.
On November 13, Rockstar Games announced that Red Dead Redemption could be ported to telephones, PS5, Xbox Collection X/S, and Change 2. In case you already personal the PS4, Change, or backwards-compatible digital Xbox 360 model of the sport, you’ll get the improve without cost when RDR makes the leap to new consoles on December 2. This new model of Purple Lifeless Redemption helps 4K/60, enhanced picture high quality, and HDR assist on PS5/Xbox. In the meantime, on Nintendo Change 2, RDR helps DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and 60FPS gameplay. And, like with 2023’s rerelease on PS4, this new model will embrace the zombie-infested Undead Nightmare DLC. Superior stuff! However uh…hey, Rockstar, I believe you forgot one thing.
For the reason that launch of the PS5 and Xbox Collection X/S in 2020, Rockstar followers have been begging the corporate to replace or improve Purple Lifeless Redemption 2 in order that the sport can take full benefit of the extra highly effective machines. Over on PC, RDR 2 seems superb with its excessive framerates, elevated draw distances, and spectacular resolutions. That’s to not say RDR 2 on PS4 is an unsightly recreation, nevertheless it may very well be so a lot better. And but, six years later…nothing. No replace. No improve. Simply rumors and whispers that perhaps someday it’d occur. Nevertheless it by no means does.
Even Xbox thought a modern update was coming, in response to leaked court docket paperwork from 2023. However alas, nope. Rockstar has seen match to replace and improve Grand Theft Auto V from PS3 to PS4 to PS5. And it’s now planning to improve Purple Lifeless Redemption from final gen to present gen, without cost, too. Sadly, RDR 2, for no matter purpose, isn’t getting the identical therapy, no less than not but.
I’ll admit, I laughed after I noticed the information that Purple Lifeless Redemption would get a flowery PS5 improve earlier than Purple Lifeless Redemption 2. It’s humorous, in a miserable type of manner. Which, for a recreation as unhappy as RDR 2, seems like poetry. However I’m not right here for amusing parallels between artwork and actual life. I’m right here to blast away bandits and lawmen in RDR 2 in 4K/60 on PS5 Professional. I suppose I’ll simply purchase a Steam Machine next year and play Red Dead Redemption 2 at 60FPS over there. It’s in all probability the closest to a current-gen port we’ll get anytime quickly, as Grand Theft Auto 6 takes away most of Rockstar’s focus and assets.
