Rockstar has released a surprise update for Red Dead Redemption 2, bringing a host of stability fixes as well as support for AMD FSR 2.2. The new Red Dead Redemption 2 update brings the game up to version 1.32 across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

The last major update for Red Dead Redemption 2 was update 1.31, which was released almost a year ago now. Because of this, it's somewhat surprising that Rockstar is still continuing to launch any kind of substantial update for the game almost six years after it was first released. A recent patch for Red Dead Online was released to combat some exploits used by cheaters, although it's been a while since the single-player portion of the game was touched by the studio. Still, anything that makes Red Dead Redemption 2 a better game than it already is will always be welcomed by the community.

The Rockstar Support site posted the patch notes for Red Dead Redemption 2's 1.32 update, and it's quite a short list. As well as general stability fixes across the board, 1.32 also includes support for AMD FSR 2.2 and HDR10+ Gaming on compatible systems. The few gamers playing at a 3200x2400 resolution will also find that the glitch previously preventing it from being used has now also been fixed. Red Dead Redemption 2 is already one of the best Rockstar games on the market, and this latest patch only makes it better.

Rumors of a new Red Dead Redemption 2 update first began to swirl around a month ago, and it seems they were correct. The 1.32 update was never officially announced by the developer, instead being shadow-dropped across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. With any new substantial content for Red Dead Redemption 2 extremely improbable in the future, most future updates for the game will likely be similar in size to 1.32, ironing out any of the smaller bugs left in the game.

Even with this new update, it's safe to say that Rockstar's attention is largely away from Red Dead Redemption 2. With Grand Theft Auto 6 on the way and development seemingly entering the final stretch, it would be understandably difficult to keep up substantial support for a six-year-old game. Plenty of gamers continue to wonder about what the future holds for the Red Dead Redemption franchise in the years to come. While Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark believes that Red Dead Redemption 3 is a certainty, it'll likely be a few years yet before any concrete details begin to emerge about the potential title.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.
