Red Dead Redemption 2's Rumored Remaster Would Be Missing the Forest for the Trees

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a timeless title at this point. Almost seven years since its release, Rockstar Games' grandiose Western is one of those games that can be explored and enjoyed nearly endlessly, and indeed players continue to spend bountiful time with its breathtaking setting and colorful characters to this day. The beloved prequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption will also be celebrating its birthday later this month, on October 26. As Red Dead Redemption 2 has enjoyed such longevity, there has often been a desire for it to finally and officially receive a version optimized for current-gen hardware.
