You may have heard that Grand Theft Auto fans are convinced, and I meanconvinced, that aGTA VIreveal is coming this month. My heart stops for a millisecond everytime I get a Twitter alert from Rockstar Games. The latest alert may not have contained any such reveal, but I was delightfully surprised to see thatRed Dead Redemptionhas received a highly-requested update.
Rockstar’s latestRed Dead Redemptionport landed in August. While many fans were thrilled at the chance to replay this classic on modern consoles, the port came with its fair share of baggage. First of all, insiders had been teasing a fullRed Dead Redemptionremake for months, so the port slightly underwhelmed upon reveal.Rockstarthen announced that it would cost £40/$50, whichmany said was far too muchfor a relatively untouched port of a 2010 game. Well, you’re now getting slightly more bang for your buck.Red Dead Redemptionhas just received a 60fps patch. There’s one problem though: it’s aPS5exclusive.
Take a look at theRed Dead Redemptionport in action below.
Taking to Twitter, Rockstarannounced, “Red Dead Redemption, includingUndead Nightmare, now supports up to 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.” You can understand why a 60fps patch wasn’t implemented on the Nintendo Switch, but Xbox owners want to know why it hasn’t dropped on that particular platform.

Reddit user rupal_hs took to the r/XboxSeriesX subreddit tosay, “No 60fps patch forRDR1on Series X? PS5 just got a 60fps patch. Can’t see any fps toggle in the Series X version currently.”
It’s a tad convoluted but it somewhat makes sense. That being said, that doesn’t mean the Xbox version is incapable of running at 60fps, and hopefully we’ll see this implemented in a future update but at least we know why the PS5’s 60fps couldn’t be applied across all platforms.
