Red Dead Redemption gets an RDR 2 makeover with Reality Redemption 3.0

John Marston in Reality Redemption Overhaul Project for Red Dead Redemption.

If you're still scratching your stubbly chin about how a 14-year old game can come to Steam with a $50 price tag, then keep scratching, because we can't justify that for you. On the other hand, there's no question that since Red Dead Redemption landed on Steam a couple of months ago, PC has become the definitive way to play Rockstar's western classic (though apparently it's not half-bad on the Asus ROG Ally X either). And a big part of that is the fact that it can now be modded until the cows come home.

Modders have wasted no time in getting stuck in either, with 335 Red Dead Redemption mods available on Nexus Mods right now. By far the most popular and sweeping of these is the Reality Redemption Overhaul Project, which goes a long way to giving the game that 'RDR 2' feel. The mod has just entered its 3.0 iteration, which packs in nearly 4 GB worth of high-res textures and character models, as well as improved reflections, physics, draw distances, particle effects, and many many other improvements. It looks like it's received a Reshade too, with vibrant colours punctuating that iconic contrast of the high desert's coppery landscape with the blue skies above it.
