A Red Dead Redemption 2 fan managed to run the game on his mobile device. Even though he had to lower the graphics a lot, the fan was able to run Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Red Magic 9 Pro.
This is what Red Dead Redemption 2 looks like on mobile
Videos shared by YouTuber Serg Pavlov show the performance of Red Dead Redemption 2 on mobile devices. However, it is not a very good experience, so be aware. The game’s low frame rate, choppy audio, and overall poor performance show that the days when we’ll actually see this game on mobile are far off.
However, this makes for a very interesting experience in testing the limits of mobile devices when it comes to running large, graphically rich games.
The video shows the serene activities of Arthur Morgan, the main character of Red Dead Redemption 2, such as wandering through towns and crossing vast fields on horseback. Even these activities cause the game to lag a lot. Still, it is an exciting development that such a large and detailed world of the game can be ported to mobile devices.
The mobile device on which Serg Pavlov is running Red Dead Redemption 2 is Red Magic 9 Pro. The device has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 12 GB of RAM. The phone, which has 256 GB of storage, runs on the Android 14 operating system.
Red Dead Redemption is free! But on one condition
Red Dead Redemption and its expansion pack Undead Nightmare are free for GTA+ members. So how to get it? Here are the details.
Pavlov used external cooling to prevent the game, which runs at 960×540 resolution, from burning the phone’s hardware. In addition, in order for the game to run on the Adreno 750 GPU, the game’s graphics were thoroughly ‘scraped’ with mods.
The ability to run Red Dead Redemption 2 on mobile devices could also be a turning point in the world of mobile gaming. The fact that such big productions have become playable on mobile platforms shows how far the limits in the gaming industry can go.
Developments in the mobile gaming world are not limited to Red Dead Redemption 2. The fact that major productions such as Death Stranding and Resident Evil Village have become playable on iOS devices seems to have further enriched the mobile gaming experience.
