Red Dead Redemption 2 and Other PS4 Games Are Getting Unofficial 60 FPS PlayStation 5 Patches
Red Dead Redemption 2 and Other PS4 Games Are Getting Unofficial 60 FPS PlayStation 5 Patches-October 2024

  Many are the PlayStation 4 titles that haven't been patched to take advantage of the PlayStation 5 power, and some users have grown tired of waiting for developers to update their titles and have started creating unofficial 60 FPS patches for titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2.

  As shown on Twitter by Illusion, the open-world game by Rockstar Games can run at 60 FPS with no issue on a hacked PlayStation 5 console, alongside other titles such as Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian, and The Order:1886. The fact that users can manage to do so without official documentation shows how easy it is and how baffling it is that developers and publishers aren't doing it themselves.

  The Last Guardian doesn't freeze if you updated to 1.03 and managed to unlock the framerate on PS5. (For comparison, here is 1.00 at this section https://t.co/zhRgVUYkBv) pic.twitter.com/qqTWudvNfg

  Among the games that can run on PlayStation 5 at 60 frames per second is Bloodborne, whose unofficial 60 FPS patch by Lance McDonald was recently ported. As opposed to Red Dead Redemption 2, which can be enjoyed at 60 FPS on PC, Bloodborne's case is considerably worse, as the game is only available on PlayStation 4 and in a rather shoddy state, as the game suffers from uneven performance and frame pacing issues that were never fixed.

  While for games like The Last Guardian and Gravity Rush 2, the ball is in Sony's court, it would be up to Take-Two and Rockstar Games to update Red Dead Redemption 2 to run at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5. The publisher apparently shelved the game's current-gen update plans a while back, but it wouldn't be surprising for these plans to be revived to release a native PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version that users would have to pay for.
