Red Dead Redemption 2 could have gone on forever. Like GTA 5, which has enjoyed a lifespan of more than ten years thanks to Grand Theft Auto Online, the world of RDR 2 is so rich, so full, that we could have been a hootin’ and a hollerin’ with new material and DLC for years. Sadly, that seems ever more unlikely.

It did so, and while the game looked great on both consoles, it was only playable at 30 FPS.

Red Dead Redemption update: While the world is waiting for news on GTA 6, Rockstar Games has quietly added a much-needed feature to the Red Dead Redemption port on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. For years, PlayStation fans had been waiting for Red Dead Redemption to arrive on the PS4. The game was launched back in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and although it was initially accessible on the PS4 via PlayStation Now for a few years, the cloud service was scrapped, meaning that there was no way for gamers to enjoy Rockstar's original take on the Wild West. What added to the misery was the game was available on PS4's major competitor, the Xbox One, through backwards compatibility.

Red Dead Redemption was a hit game when it was first released into the marketplace. The video game took players back to the Wild West, where outlaws thrived, and the law used its limited resources in an attempt to establish order. Initially, Rockstar Games had received some flack for going in this direction, especially with the studio being so loved for the Grand Theft Auto series. However, that quickly changed upon release, and fans loved their narrative journey with former outlaw John Marston. 

The Red Dead Redemption PlayStation 5 port received a new patch today, which introduces a highly requested feature that improves the experience considerably.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best-looking games that Rockstar has ever produced. Though we’re deeply anxious to see GTA 6, and how the supposedly revamped and reimagined version of Vice City is going to look, ahead of the next Grand Theft Auto, another journey through RDR2 sounds like the perfect way to pass the time. Now, with a new Red Dead Redemption 2 HD overhaul mod, from the creator of Natural Vision for GTA 5, the world of Arthur Morgan, John Marston et al looks even better, and you can get the entire thing right now.

Red Dead Redemption. What a classic. The treacherous tale of former outlaw John Marston helped define the PS3 generation, and the game's storytelling, complete with crazy characters and typically tense western vibes, still holds up today. From the dusty beginnings of Armadillo to the bear-infested forests of Tall Trees, this is a sandbox adventure that has largely stood the test of time — although as you may have already predicted, the technical side of this PS4 re-release leaves much to be desired.

Open-world games are popping up more and more, and many franchises have even tailored themselves to be more like an open-world game to bring in more fans. As such, you can expect a lot of these titles in 2023. The real question becomes though…which ones should you get?

Video games are meant to be an escape from the real world. At times, we often wonder “what it’s like to be the bad guys”. Well, in video games, we can find out. Here’s a few games that’ll help you with those feelings.

The source of much criticism since its announcement, Red Dead Redemption — the freshly released PS4 port — admittedly isn't as half-arsed as we feared it would be. But at the same time, it's far from the remaster that such a beloved PS3 classic deserves. We've ran through the open world epic's opening hours in order to write this Hands On article, and our impressions are fairly mixed.

Thanks to the wonders of emulation, you can now play Red Dead Redemption on Android. And, early reports indicate that it works pretty well, provided you have a sufficiently powerful device, that is.

Red Dead Redemption is out now on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch and unsurprisingly, it is a barebones upgrade to the revered Western odyssey. During the initial announcement, Rockstar Games never revealed any technical specifications, simply calling it a ‘conversion' that didn't mention anything about visual improvements or support for 60fps. That seems to be the case, judging by the new press release — dropped launch day — which states that regardless of the platform, the game is locked to 30fps. The new bit of information, however, is that the port from Double Eleven Studios runs at 1080p resolution on the Nintendo Switch and PS4, going up to 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro and PS5 (playable via backward compatibility).

Red Dead Redemption is finally headed to PS4 and Nintendo Switch, on August 17. No, this isn't a remake or that long-rumoured remastered version, but rather a port of the original 2010 game, and includes the Undead Nightmare zombie add-on. Rockstar Games' Western epic was originally launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360, after which it was made compatible to run on newer Xbox consoles via backwards compatibility. Double Eleven Studios — known for working on the Lego Harry Potter games and Minecraft Dungeons — is responsible for this new port, which they're calling a ‘conversion.' The studio was founded by ex-Rockstar developers.

The original Red Dead Redemption will come to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in a little over a week. This is great news, as we’re talking about one of the very few highly successful games of the post ‘2010s that hasn’t seen a single re-release. Few feelings beat knowing that the wait is over—even when we didn’t know we were waiting for something in the first place.

The western-themed third-person shooter goes on sale August 17th, just three days after revered lawman and huckleberry spokesperson Doc Holliday’s birthday.

Rockstar Games today announced that a port of the original Red Dead Redemption is coming to PS4 and Switch.

Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era, and part of that is because it hasn’t migrated from those platforms since it arrived in 2010. After 13 years, that finally changes with a surprise jump to PlayStation 4 and Switch.
