Red Dead Redemption 2: New mod with revised horse textures

Meanwhile, Read Dead Redemption 2 doesn’t seem to be showered with love. According to insider information, Rockstar Games has canceled plans for a next-gen version of Read Dead Redemption 2 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The developer studio also announced that it would no longer publish any major new content updates for the online mode Red Dead Online, as they wanted to put the resources into GTA 6. Fans responded with an “in-game funeral” from Red Dead Online.

Reworked horse textures with the “Equus” mod

While this news is somewhat sobering, efforts continue to come from the community to improve the game experience for Red Dead Redemption 2 (buy now €19.99) to improve. This is possible, for example, with modifications that can be found in large numbers on the Nexusmods website. A new mod comes from the creator “WickedHorseMan”, who has considered improving the textures of the horses in the game via upscaling processes.

In the description of his “Equus” mod, WickedHorseMan writes that his upscaled textures are four times the vanilla textures in Red Dead Redemption 2. Also, some textures are inherently “horrible,” so upscaling will only make those textures’ bugs worse. Online variants should also be excluded from the mod. The modification requires 2.9 GB of free storage space and can be downloaded via Nexusmods.

At the beginning of the year, PCGH already presented a chaos mod for Red Dead Redemption 2. Such mods are available for numerous games, including a number of GTA parts, and ensure that random and special events such as effects occur within specified periods of time, which change the gameplay have a significant influence and can sometimes be annoying, but sometimes also quite funny.
