Reality Redemption Overhaul Mod Now Available for RDR PC
When Red Dead Redemption launched on PC on October 29, the author of the Reality Redemption overhaul mod, BadassBaboon, said they would soon port it for this version. The mod was originally made for the Xbox 360 version (which could run on PC via Xenia) and the Nintendo Switch version of the game. However, the modder encountered an issue running the game on his configuration. In the meantime, other modders started providing texture mods for specific areas, like grass, particles, and the protagonist himself.
Now, though, BadassBaboon has resolved their issue with launching the game (they had to roll back to an earlier version of Windows 11, for some reason), and Reality Redemption for PC can be downloaded here. It's by far the most comprehensive improvement mod for Rockstar's open world masterpiece. Here's a list of its current features:

Beyond a potential texture upscale to 4K, there are also several Reality Redemption features that have to be finished or implemented, such as:
