Rockstar Games is currently dedicated to Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto VI only, so it’s unlikely we’re going to hear about the future of the Red Dead franchise anytime soon.
Luckily for us, the series boasts an exceptionally talented modding community so even without any official news, we’re hardly starved of content.
It’s with this in mind that I want to draw your attention to ‘Reality Redemption’, an incredible mod that essentially provides the original Red Dead Redemption with a new-gen overhaul.

We did receive Rockstar’s official remaster of Red Dead Redemption last year, but it was hardly the remake many of us were expecting.
‘Reality Redemption’ provides results that are perhaps more in line with those expectations.
It’s essentially a remaster of Rockstar’s remaster that seeks to improve the game’s visual fidelity.
ICYMI: Red Dead Redemption is out now on PC too. Take a look at the game in action below.
The mod was shared by GTA Forums user BadassBaboon.

“Red Dead Redemption is amongst one of the best Western titles ever created, next to its successor and sequel. However due to this game's age, various gameplay and visual elements feel outdated and not up to today's gaming standards,” they wrote.
“Reality Redemption aims to improve the visual fidelity of this game with better textures, models, and weather cycles, fixing continuity errors, as well as improving its gameplay elements for a more fluid and realistic experience.”
The current iteration of the mod improves general performance, reflection quality, the draw distance of vegetation, debris variation and count, and textures, whilst adding additional random spawn events, fixing weather events, and making the camera more in line with Red Dead Redemption 2’s.
The creators are far from being finished with the project.

They plan to further improve secondary character textures, building textures, vegetation and tree textures, as well as altering shadow cycles and cloud shadows.
If this sounds of interest to you, you can download the mod for free, but you do need to be playing Red Dead Redemption on PC - although I should hope that was obvious.
It’s well worth checking out.
