Red Dead Redemption 2 Update: Here's What's New

Rockstar Games has released update 1.32 for the widely popular title Red Dead Redemption 2, which is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms. This update revitalizes Red Dead Online, the game's online component, with general bug fixes and significant enhancements after 18 months of no updates. Noteworthy changes include the default deactivation of Voice Chat and the introduction of HDR10+ support on PC. This update comes as a surprise, especially since Rockstar had previously stated in July 2022 that it would halt major updates for Red Dead Online to focus on the upcoming title Grand Theft Auto 6, slated for a 2025 release. The company's last update in September 2022 added Telegrams, four additional locations in Showdown mode, and numerous bug fixes to Red Dead Online.

Players can expect general bug fixes, disabled default Voice Chat, and HDR10+ support on PC for an enhanced gaming experience in Red Dead Online.

As an extra dose of background information, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. It was released in October 2018 as a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption. The game is set in a fictional representation of the American Old West and follows the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang. Red Dead Redemption 2 received critical acclaim for its story, characters, open world, and considerable attention to detail. Its online multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, allows players to explore the game's dynamic world with others. The support for the online mode was initially strong, with regular updates and content additions, making this latest update particularly newsworthy for the game's community.
