“Red Dead Redemption” is 13 years old, but there’s not a month that goes by without it making headlines. Whether it’s due to its release on Nintendo Switch or because a player has achieved something incredible, there’s no doubt that Rockstar keeps raking in stacks of cash with John Marston‘s adventures in the Old West. But before announcing the third installment and breaking the internet with a single move, they have decided to give one of their flagship titles another twist.

And, without warning, they have released patch 1.03 on the PlayStation Store, which gives the game a 60fps mode, something many have been requesting for a long time. The problem? You’ll have to make a choice. Either 30fps at higher resolution or 60fps but slightly worse graphics. You can’t have it all in this life, at least until they release its inevitable remake in a few years.
This improvement (depending on how you look at it) is currently available only on PlayStation 5. Since the game is not native to that console, it’s a way for Sony to give it a boost and allow players of the new generation to give it another chance. It was released on PlayStation 4 on August 17, so this is a way to provide an extra incentive for those using the later console with backward compatibility.
“A game from PS3, released on PS4, and enhanced on PS5. That’s what they call milking the cow until it runs dry. At least, it did come with ‘Undead Nightmare,’ its DLC, although the price tag remained prohibitively high for a title that hasn’t even received a facelift. I personally remember the day I bought this game right when it was released. And yes, indeed, I’m signing the papers for the nursing home now. Might as well start now than be shocked when ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ gets its remake on PS6.”
