Someone has finally cracked Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC

Rockstar has been able to keep Red Dead Redemption 2 out of the hands of pirates for a long time now but after a full year, scene cracking groups have caught up. 

Red Dead Redemption 2 remained uncracked since launch until earlier today, when a group released their working, cracked version on torrent sites. At this point, other groups have re-uploaded it across a range of sites meaning this pirated version is going to be readily available for a long time.

We of course won't be linking to any of these downloads, but it is interesting to note. Rockstar's own DRM managed to keep Red Dead Redemption 2 piracy-free for longer than most, with only Denuvo rivalling it.

Unfortunately, this is likely going to have an impact on the game's multiplayer, which already had issues with cheating. Hopefully Rockstar has been working on some stronger anti-cheat during this period of time.

KitGuru Says: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that is well worth its price tag and the time investment to finish it. If you can afford to buy it, then it has our recommendation.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
