Red Dead Redemption Gets a 60fps Upgrade on PlayStation 5
Howdy there, fellow gamers! We’ve got some exciting news for all you cowboys and cowgirls out there. Patch 1.03 for Red Dead Redemption has snuck in a 60fps mode for those of you playing on PlayStation 5. Yeehaw! Now, when the game launched on PlayStation 4 in August, many folks were scratching their heads, wondering why it wasn’t running at 60fps and 4K. Well, it seems Rockstar has heard our pleas and delivered the goods.
Rockstar Delivers More than Just a Language Update
Now, hold your horses, pardner! There’s more to this patch than meets the eye. You see, the only thing Rockstar listed as a change to the PlayStation 3 version is the addition of new languages. Sure, it’s great to have Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Latin American Spanish, but that’s not the real star of the show here. No, siree!
The real deal is the “conversion,” as Rockstar calls it, which was handled by Double Eleven. Now, this ain’t no ordinary conversion, folks. It’s a whole new level of gaming goodness. And guess what? It was priced at a whopping $49.99. I can already hear the jaws dropping. Take-Two boss Strauss Zenick explained that the price of the game reflects what they believe is the commercially accurate value. Well, I reckon they know a thing or two about running a business.
No Xbox Version, but Xbox Players Aren’t Left in the Dust
Now, before y’all start saddling up and searching for this upgrade on Xbox, let me tell you something: there ain’t no separate version for Xbox players. But don’t you fret, partner. You can already play the game on Xbox One and X|S through backwards compatibility, and you even get to enjoy higher resolutions. So, while PlayStation 5 players get to bask in the glory of 60fps, Xbox players aren’t left in the dust. We’re all in this wild west together!
Now, I reckon it’s time to take a trip down memory lane. Back in 2010, when Red Dead Redemption first hit the scene, it blew us away like a dynamite stick in a mine shaft. We gave it a perfect 10/10, and for good reason. Our reviewer said, “Rockstar San Diego’s latest title is an unmissable game for any fan of the genre or great action adventures in general. We don’t often get masterpieces around here, but this is certainly one of those moments in time when gamers will look back more fondly on a dusty old six shooter than anything that involves jacking cars. The Wild West, then, is the new New York, and Rockstar has got their work cut out for them if they want Grand Theft Auto V to come anywhere near close to the majesty of Red Dead Redemption. A job we don’t envy.”
And there you have it, folks! The wild ride of Red Dead Redemption continues, now with a thrilling 60fps upgrade on PlayStation 5. So saddle up, grab your controllers, and get ready to ride into the sunset in stunning high frame rates. It’s time to experience the Wild West like never before!
