Red Dead Redemption 2 players mods cars into the game, says it’s basically GTA 6

Red Dead Redemption 2 with modern day vehicles is probably the most cursed thing I’ve seen all week, though it’s also kind of cool…

God bless mods. A good handful of mods can completely change a game forever and sometimes become brand-new games entirely. Since Rockstar Games outright refused to add much new content to Red Dead Redemption 2, the work has largely fallen on modders to update and improve the Western with new additions and changes.

One such change is apparently the closest thing we’ll get to playing GTA VI before it releases next year, and it’s simply the normal Red Dead Redemption 2 game but with working cars.

I’m sure I don’t have to explain how unbelievably cursed this is. Watching Arthur Morgan drift through the desert in a sports car should not be real yet it also kind of slaps. The Reddit user who showed off this monstrosity, PsychologicalMight26, made the bold claim of saying: “Just mod vehicles into Red Dead Redemption 2 and that’s a GTA VI prototype right there.”

Obviously there’ll be a bit more to Rockstar’s next game than that, but they’re not entirely wrong. Red Dead Redemption was a huge step up to GTA V in terms of open world size, detail and other graphical improvements. From what we saw in the latest trailer GTA VI will be yet another step up in quality, boasting a world the size of a US state and featuring the most advanced AI ever seen in a video game.

The game is set to release on an undisclosed date in 2025, and obviously player desperation has hit such high levels that they’re not shoving modern technology in Red Dead Redemption 2 just to get an idea of what GTA VI must be like to play.

It’s a shame players can’t mod in modern medicine to save Arthur at the end of the game though…
