Red Dead Redemption looks amazing on an Xbox One X

Red Dead Redemption has been added to the list of games that receive significant visual improvements over the original release, including a bump to 4K resolution, when played on Xbox One X. The differences are dramatic. You can watch a detailed comparison of the original game and the upgraded version in the video from ElAnalistaDeBits at the top of this post.

Watching Red Dead Redemption run in 4K is like putting on glasses for the first time: Textures are crisper, details pop out of the background and it’s much easier to see what’s happening in the distance.

The Xbox One X visual update for Red Dead Redemption was released yesterday to a decent amount of fanfare, but but it doesn’t feel like people got excited enough, now that we’ve seen what a difference the new visuals make.

This is a great excuse to replay the original before the sequel comes out, or to jump into the game for the first time. Red Dead Redemption seems like a must-play experience if you have an Xbox One X.
