"Technical Analysis Reveals 'Bare-Bones' Upgrade for Red Dead Redemption on PS4 and PS5"

According to technical analysis by Digital Foundry, the PS4 and PS5 versions of Red Dead Redemption offer only a small list of enhancements compared to the Xbox backward-compatible versions. While the PS4 Pro version has better shadows and a slightly different gamma presentation, the overall game looks very similar on both PlayStation consoles. The user interface hasn't been updated for modern displays, resulting in 720p elements that don't scale well to 4K TVs. Digital Foundry concludes that the PS4 and PS5 versions of Red Dead Redemption are a "bare-bones" effort, lacking significant improvements for the 13-year-old game.
