Red Dead Redemption 2 has just claimed the fourth spot on the list of all-time best selling video games.

And yet, the...

News Red Dead Redemption 2 'Probably' Wouldn't Have Happened without GTA 5 DLC Cancellation
There's a silver lining
A world without Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't one we'd want to live in, so there is at least one benefit to the cancellation of the single player DLC that Rockstar had in the works for GTA 5: it let the developer make the western open worlder. As part of a wider interview with Lex Fridman on YouTube, the studio's co-founder...

News Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
Alongside a Switch 2 version, apparently
One of the most unexplainable things of the PS5 generation so far is how Red Dead Redemption 2 has never been given a current-gen patch. It's perfectly playable on PS5 in backwards compatibility, but you're locked to 30 frames-per-second and an inferior resolution compared to what's available on Xbox Series...
