Earlier on this month, Rockstar announced that after years and years of waiting, PC players would finally be able to experience the seminal Red Dead Redemption outside of the console space this month. Well, a few weeks later and the game is out now on the platform, and some of the footage we’re seeing is making us a little bit jealous of how it’s running compared to the Xbox version.
You see, we already spoke about how the Xbox release deserves a frame rate bump a few weeks back, and now we’re feeling that even more with PC footage doing the rounds online. We’ll throw some Twitter clips down below showing the game in action – in all of its high frame rate glory.
At the time of writing, we have no inclination that the Xbox version of Red Dead Redemption will ever run higher than 30FPS – even though the PC and PS5 versions now run at 60FPS+. Of course, the Xbox version is still running via 360 backwards compatibility which presents an issue – an issue that something like FPS Boost has not tackled at this stage.
Anyway, this serves as another little plea towards Microsoft and Rockstar – we’d really like to see an improved version of Red Dead Redemption on Xbox. This is an absolute classic, and it feels like Xbox players should be getting an equal experience to those on other similarly powerful platforms.
