Red Dead Redemption 2 is an impossibly vast game with an incredible level of detail put into every inch of its huge open world.
To this day, fans believe there really hasn't been a game that has matched Red Dead Redemption 2's open world, both in terms of overall scope and visual splendour. The fact Rockstar Games got it running on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is nothing short of magic... which is why I'm amazed the game has now managed to get up and running on the last platform you'd have expected.
Take a look at some of the best Red Dead Redemption 2 wins and fails below!

Incredibly, a YouTuber by the name Serg Pavlov has managed to get Red Dead Redemption 2 up and running on an Android phone. As you can see below (or via this link), the Rockstar Games western is most definitely running on a Red Magic 9 Pro.

Okay, so it's far from perfect. The frame-rate is choppy at best, and there are a few visual glitches. But the fact Pavlov was able to get this running at all without the phone exploding is nothing short of remarkable.
I would imagine running the game for more than 10-20 minutes at a time would be impossible, however. It seems like things would heat up pretty quickly. I guess you could try playing with oven gloves and safety goggles, but that sounds less than ideal.
"Bud That ain’t a phone..that’s a time bomb," remarked one fan on Twitter.
Another added: "This is actually extremely impressive when you consider that 1. It’s running on a windows layer
2. This game is an x86 program and I highly doubt this phone has hardware to make translating x86 to arm faster It could actually maybe be playable if they did a proper port."
Come on then, Rockstar. Give us Red Dead Redemption 2 on mobile. You know you want to.
