Rockstar Games has officially released update 1.03 for Red Dead Redemption. The PlayStation-exclusive update adds, among other things, a 60 FPS option on the PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility.
Rockstar Games released Red Dead Redemption on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in August 2023. The port includes the base game and its expansion, Undead Nightmare. At the time of writing, the video game classic is not yet available on Xbox consoles or PC.
Red Dead Redemption Update 1.03 Patch Notes
