Red Dead Redemption Now Runs at 60 FPS on Xbox Series X/S Thanks to Emulation

Red Dead Redemption has only been released on the Xbox 360 and PS3, but it is now possible to play it at 60 frames per second (FPS) on Xbox Series.

This is not the Xbox backwards compatibility program is using a third party emulator you must install then you need to source a copy of the games files to play not the installed version

And you can only play it at 720p because of texture flicker. Myself, I would take the resolution over the framerate.

Sgt_Slaughter801d ago

The resolution will get better as development gets improvements and optimizations, so soon people won't have to choose. Not to mention, with this emulator that means the library of games that work on Xbox Series S/X will grow exponentially

RDR2 not having a next gen update is one of the biggest disappointments of this gen. It is a game that just screams for 60 fps or updated graphical features. It also goes to show how greedy Rockstar have become. With the untold piles of billions that their 10 versions of gta5 have sold, they still couldn't be bothered to put a small team together to do this and give millions of fans what they want.

I used to have the utmost respect for these guys, but I am starting to doubt their ability to make another game that won't just be a cash grab.

Computersaysno802d ago

Works fine on PC in 4K and 60FPS. DLSS also makes it more accessible.

closed_account801d ago (Edited 801d ago )

Good to hear, because that works wonderfully with my 150+ hour PS4 save. 🤦‍♂️

((I have a decent PC now, but I'm not starting over. I'd prefer a PS5 upgrade to continue on and also hit that Platinum))

EvertonFC801d ago

Don't think that helps console ONLY gamers

Computersaysno801d ago

I'm just confused what the problem is with my statement. You want to play RDR2 with 60FPS and high resolution and much better quality? Then you can do it- on PC. It's not impossible like Rockstar are denying that opportunity to you.

So you bought a PS5 or whatever else instead then ok, you can't. You also can't play Halo or whatever either. Just your choice I guess. That's life.

MeatyUrologist801d ago

The problem is everyone knows you can buy a $2000 pc and play it at 60fps, you didn't need to point it out.

My comment was in regard to how most every other AAA developer has been doing this for next gen consoles and many of them for free. Throw in the fact that Rockstar has made literally 6 billion dollars off of milking gtav yet couldn't be bothered to have a couple folks roll out a next gen update as a service to their loyal fans. You can defend them all you want, but it is just greed pure and simple.

redrum06801d ago

Sure whatever, Mr. PC master race. PS5 and XSX are more than capable enough to run RDR2 in 60 FPS. While a lot of game companies release patches/updates to enhance the experience on current gen consoles, Rockstar still remains a money grabbing pu**y a** b*tch and probably will release an updated version which you probably have to pay for.

Yes, PC's don't have these performance restrictions, good for you. Doesn't mean console players should be left out though.

“I'm just confused what the problem is with my statement. You want to play RDR2 with 60FPS and high resolution and much better quality? Then you can do it- on PC.“

The problem is that gamers shouldn’t have to buy into another platform for that experience when Rockstar Games are fully capable of releasing a 60fps patch for RDR2 on current gen consoles.

I’d rather them focus on GTA VI. What game has Rockstar developed that was a cash grab? The closest thing I can think of are remasters, which is exactly what you’re asking for! RDR2 is proof enough that Rockstar still cares about making an incredible single player game. I remember people being worried before release that they would be more focused on the online component as a cash grab, and clearly that was not the case.

GTA VI will come out and set the bar for open world games, just like GTA V and RDR2 did before it. You can’t convince me otherwise. Five years later, there’s still no open world that even comes close to the depth and detail of RDR2. Rockstar’s ambition only seems to grow with every release, which sadly translates to longer and longer development times. If they simply wanted to grab our cash, they would be releasing lower quality GTA games every few years. Cash grabs don’t take a decade to make!

MeatyUrologist801d ago (Edited 801d ago )

The cash grab was keeping a game alive for 3 console generations so they could chill out and collect billions of dollars of microtransactions from gtaonline. All their lifelong dedicated fans wanted was a single player expansion to RDR2 or GTAV, or a next gen port of RDR2, but nah, too much to ask.

Do you really think it would take away massive development time from GTA6 to simply unlock the framerate on ps5? At this point I'd be surprised if gta6 even has a single player component.

S2Killinit802d ago

Pretty cool. RDR was a great great, to play it at 60 frames on series X should be great.

warriorcase801d ago

So it's a Xenia port, nice. With Xenia now on xbox that means we can also emulate the unreleased Goldeneye remake. Seem to work but crashes and requires more patching currently.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz14953d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga53d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero52d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga52d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g53d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor53d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos53d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv7253d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos53d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel198952d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv7252d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.

I love the Steamdeck, it's pretty great, also amazing that we can carry a handheld computer around that can play so many games.
