Rockstar Games
Rockstar has quietly released an update for Red Dead Redemption's PS4 port that allows PS5 players to enable a 60 FPS mode in the game's settings.
The details:
- Following the controversial release of the PS4 and Nintendo Switch ports of the original Red Dead Redemption in August, fans such as X user @Cade_Onder have spotted that Rockstar has since updated the game to include a 60 FPS mode in its settings as long as it is being played on a PS5.
- Fans were expecting a major Red Dead Redemption announcement in August, following reports and rumors of a remastering and even a full remake on the way. Unfortunately, this was not the case, as Rockstar instead released a port of the original to the Switch and PS4, sparking a wave of criticism for its $50 price tag and lack of improvements.
- Some are still hoping that Rockstar will release a next-generation update for its sequel, which was reportedly canceled internally, allowing the game to run at 4K 30 FPS, which was already possible on the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. Given that the developer is currently working on the next Grand Theft Auto title, which many believe will be revealed imminently, it's unlikely that the patch will be released anytime soon.
More gaming news:
- Nintendo has confirmed that it will continue to support the Switch through 2025, with the console remaining a priority until the end of the fiscal year 2023-24. This comes after several reports and rumors that the company intends to release a new console in the second half of 2024.
- The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog is reportedly letting go of contracted employees across a variety of departments. An anonymous source within the company claims that employees have been pressured to keep quiet about the situation, with those affected expected to work until the end of October.
