Red Dead Redemption — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Red Dead Redemption on PS5 runs via PS4 Pro backward compatibility, outputting at a native 2160p target at a locked 30fps. Its primary upgrade over legacy releases is the integration of AMD FSR2 used as a temporal super-sampler, producing image quality far cleaner than Xbox's 2x MSAA. However, visual upgrades are otherwise minimal, with original textures, 720p UI assets, and no high frame rate option.

PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
A side-by-side comparison requires verified graphics-mode data on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. It appears here as soon as both versions are analysed.
Known issues
The user interface retains original 720p graphics assets without 4K scaling improvements, resulting in blurry text and menu visuals.
Foliage and geometry pop in closer to the player than on PC ultra settings in specific scenes such as the opening train ride.
Certain cutscenes exhibit animation pacing issues where character and camera movements slow down for several frames, producing visible stutter.
