Xbox Series X/S players feel forgotten by Rockstar after Red Dead Redemption 60fps PS5 port
Earlier this week, Rockstar quietly added a 60fps toggle to Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 5.

Others were perhaps more understanding, and pointed to the fact the Xbox version of the game was the original with backwards compatibility. «We'd have to wait for an actual Xbox One
