Microsoft has recently announced new backward-compatible content for Xbox One and Xbox One X. More games are set to receive an “Xbox One X Enhanced” update, including the Western classic Red Dead Redemption. While you are waiting for the second part of the Wild West adventure, you can already experience the first installment in 4K resolution.
In the latest edition of Inside Xbox, not only new backward-compatible games from the original Xbox for Xbox One were announced, but also additional “Xbox One X Enhanced” updates for Xbox 360 games. A highlight among them is Red Dead Redemption, whose second part is slated to be released on October 26, 2018, after several delays.
Although Microsoft has not yet been able to provide a date for the update, it seems that the update has surprisingly gone live already.
Red Dead Redemption in 4K Resolution
If you have an Xbox One X and a 4K TV, an update for Red Dead Redemption is now available, allowing the game to be displayed in a resolution of 3840×2160.
After fans have been waiting in vain for eight years for a PC port of Red Dead Redemption, the “Xbox One X Enhanced” update could be the only way to experience the game in native 4K.
The patch comes just in time for the upcoming release of Red Dead Redemption 2, expected on October 26, 2018. The game has been delayed several times but is still anticipated to come out this year.
Developers have stated that while they hoped for an earlier release of Red Dead Redemption 2, they still need time for polishing.
So far, the official word is that the second part of the series will again appear for consoles, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Whether Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be released for PC this time is still unclear.
