Red Dead Redemption 2 surprise update unveils HDR10+ Gaming support, addresses stability, bugs, and more

Rockstar Games released a title update for Red Dead Redemption 2 that fixes a few glitches, improves stability, adds HDR10+ Gaming support, and stops you from becoming stuck when entering the stables.

Prior to this week, the last title update was issued in January, and several issues that could result in a crash in Red Dead Online were patched for PC.

Today’s update covers PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and includes general fixes for Red Dead Online, it improves stability and performance, makes it so Night Stalkers can no longer collect Night Stalker masks, Windows 11 updates should no longer interfere with Offline Mode, and horses will no longer ignore you when summoned – unlike some of the bratty flesh and blood horse I cared for when I worked as a farmhand.

The full patch notes are below.

Rockstar announced in 2022 that it would no longer release major updates to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. This was due to moving all resources over to the development of Grand Theft Auto 6. The final big content update to Red Dead Online, Blood Money, was released in July 2021.

Last year, All Hallow’s Call to Arms locations, a trio of new Dead of Night maps, a Hardcore Telegram Mission, and the return of The Halloween Pass 2 were released for Red Dead Online during the company’s third quarter. This year, monthly updates have arrived in the form of bonus events for Blood Money, Bounty Hunter, and Naturalist.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 as the third entry in the Red Dead series and a prequel to Red Dead Redemption. Upon release, it accumulated $725 million in sales from its opening weekend and exceeded the lifetime sales of Red Dead Redemption in two weeks.

As of February 2024, the game has sold over 61 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games of all time.
