Red Dead Redemption 2 gets surprise PC update with improved FSR, HDR and more

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best selling games of all time, with over 60 million copies sold since its release in 2018. Despite this, Rockstar Games has shown relatively little post-launch support for the title. Fortunately, the team have released a surprise update with notable fixes and some improvements.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s Title Update 1.32 is mostly focused on fixing issues and improving stability, including a long-time bug related to the stables in Red Dead Online.

That said, Rockstar have added a few quality-of-life features such as defaulting your mic to ‘off’ in Red Dead Online alongside improvements to playing offline.

By far the biggest change comes with the update of AMD’s FSR technology – having been upgraded to version 2.2 for increased visual clarity while maintaining framerates. Additionally, RDR2 now supports HDR10+ for Gaming; a welcome addition given the title’s poor HDR implementation at launch.

While it seems like Rockstar have no plans to revamp its online mode nor update the console versions to 60fps, it is nice to see the team addressing at least some of the game’s remaining issues.
