Red Dead Redemption 2 players surprised with free download that'll boost game's visuals

When it comes to gorgeous open worlds, there are not many better looking than Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2.

Released in 2018, Rockstar Games had an instant hit on its hand with its prequel, Red Dead Redemption 2. On the aggregate website Metacritic, the Wild West adventure garnered an all-mighty score of 97, more than earning its “Must-Play” accolade.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was praised for its storytelling that kept you hooked from start to finish telling the tale of Arthur Morgan, a leading member of the infamous Dutch van der Linde gang. What’s more, its open-world is incredibly immersive and packed full of fun activities and it looks absolutely gorgeous to boot.

Even when played on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Red Dead Redemption 2 looks stunning, but when being played on a beast of a PC, it looks even better. However, a free Nvidia download takes Rockstar Games’ epic adventure to the next level.

Nvidia announced during Gamescom a new free download for its RTX technology which now has enhanced DLSS support that is compatible with over 600 PC games and apps. "RTX encompasses an ecosystem of technologies that make high-performance, high fidelity gaming a reality," reads a blog post on Nvidia.com.

"Ray Tracing, powered by dedicated RT Cores, brings immersive and realistic lighting and reflections to games. Nvidia DLSS, made possible by Tensor Cores, enables industry-leading AI graphics acceleration, capable of delivering up to 5 times faster performance in the most immersive games."

Nvidia’s DLSS updater tool compares your PC games across various launchers including EA's Origin, Epic Games, GOG, Steam and Ubisoft Connect to give you the best version of the game and replace outdated files without you having to do much of the legwork.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s also backwards compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S but unfortunately, comes with no new-gen bells and whistles.
