With more than 61 million copies sold, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best-selling titles of all time, but good luck getting it to run on your PS5 any better than the resolution and frame rate designed for its original PS4 edition. For years now, fans have been begging Rockstar to give the open worlder an update to make it run a bit better on Sony's current console — as it does on Xbox Series X — and as an unexpected patch actually does arrive 18 months after the last one, of course there's no sign of current-gen support.
Instead, patch 1.32 predominantly fixes a bug that caused players to get stuck inside stables in Red Dead Online. To be fair, this does sound like quite an annoying glitch as users had to restart their game in the hopes it would fix things. The update also makes general stability improvements, sets voice chat so it defaults to off, and addresses some crashing issues.
Liam wants to return to the wild west
That's all you get for the first Red Dead Redemption 2 patch in a year and a half. As we wrote in a Soapbox almost three years ago: «When Rockstar Games released the PC version, it demonstrated how good Red Dead Redemption 2 could really look and run. A native PS5 version running at 60 frames-per-second that takes advantage of increased performance and visuals sounds like» a great idea. With Rockstar now all hands on deck on GTA 6 development, this tiny patch feels like a nail in the coffin of any realistic hopes for a PS5 update.
Are you still clinging to hope one will happen one day? Explain yourself in the comments below.
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
I wonder what's the hold up on a patch to match parity with the Xbox version.
Still hearing dialogues at camp I never heard before even on my 4th playthrough, what a game.
@Rafie The Xbox version is also still capped at 30fps.

@Topov81 The game runs at 4K on Xbox Series X; that's the upgrade it has over PS5.
@LiamCroft Doesn't it also run at 4K on Xbox One X? I don't believe there are any enhancements when played on Series X. The article seems to imply that the game is enhanced on current gen on Xbox and not on PS5, but that isn't the case. The game just ran at a higher res on Xbox last gen because the One X is more powerful than the PS4 Pro. This resolution disparity is simply still reflected when the game is played on current gen machines.
Look… if a game sells 61 million you can bet your left butt cheek that they will

You'd struggle to find a game right now more up in the air than the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that was first announced back in 2021, a project that has swapped developers multiple times since then and very few official updates on whether it will actually release at all. With all that uncertainty, fans no longer have confidence that it will even be a good game if it sees the light of day, and PlayStation maker Sony is apparently of the same mind.
Sony announced a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic three years ago during the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. Since then, the trailer was delisted, it was indefinitely delayed, and it changed developers. Fears of it being cancelled have been mounting as both Disney and Embracer remain quiet, but developer Saber Interactive insists that it's still in the works and only yesterday revealed that the project is "alive and well".

Last month, Saber along with other studios under its brand and its licensed IPs, was sold for $247 million by Embracer Group, creating further uncertainty around the remake project.
