However, it is not all doom and gloom as Rockstar has unveiled some official content for Red Dead Redemption, allowing players to see even more of their beloved John Marston.
Red Dead Redemption Just Got A Surprise Update
Without any word of warning, Rockstar has announced an update to Red Dead Redemption in recent days. Released for the mobile version of the game, the update introduces a new setting, quality-of-life improvements and various bugs and glitches that have been discovered since its launch back in December 2025. Additionally, this update rolls out for all Red Dead Redemption mobile versions, whether you bought it outright, or access it via a Netflix subscription.
If you want to read more about the surprise update, you can check out Rockstar’s official patch notes, but we can also run through some of the biggest changes here. This includes added support for HDR on compatible devices, allowing Red Dead Redemption to look even better when it is enabled. There has also been achievement support added to the Google Play Games app, and an added Game Center achievement support to the Apple Games app.
Last but not least, the update also welcomes improvements to the game’s overall performance, offering less stuttering, as well as reduced graphical glitches, and additional devices have been added to the support list overall. With Red Dead Redemption recently celebrating over 10 million downloads on mobile, it is safe to say that players are enjoying getting to play this hit game on the go. However, with some performance issues still prevalent, hopefully Rockstar will continue to work on this in the future.
We’re Still Waiting On The Red Dead Redemption 2 60fps Update
Although this update is good news for Red Dead Redemption fans on mobile, the rest of us are still waiting for Red Dead Redemption 2 to receive that long-awaited 60fps update. Despite high demand, Rockstar is yet to deliver on the upgrade, with the game remaining locked to 30fps on console, as opposed to the PC, which does offer that 60fps goodness. However, it is clear to see that the studio will be otherwise occupied until the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI this November. Hopefully, following its arrival, the Red Dead franchise will receive the love it deserves.
