While Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) remains shrouded in mystery, fans are finding solace in a stunning graphics overhaul of Red Dead Redemption 2. A modded version of Rockstar’s modern classic, running in 8K at 100fps, has given players a glimpse of what GTA VI might look like—and the results are breathtaking.
What’s the Mod All About?
The modding project, created by tech wizard and YouTuber Digital Dreams, showcases Red Dead Redemption 2 running in 8K resolution at 100 frames per second. Using a GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card and AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, the mod pushes the game’s visuals to their absolute limit.
For those with high-end gaming rigs, Digital Dreams has made the ReShade preset available in the description of their YouTube video, allowing players to experience the enhanced graphics for themselves.
Why Are Fans Excited?
The mod has sparked excitement among GTA VI fans, who see it as a preview of what Rockstar’s next big release could look like. Comments on the video reflect the community’s awe and anticipation:
One user wrote:
“Incredible. Imagine what GTA VI will look like.”
Another added:
“Yeah. This is why I’d like a serious gaming rig.”
The mod highlights Rockstar’s ability to create visually stunning open worlds, raising expectations for GTA 6’s graphics and performance.
What Does This Mean for GTA 6?
While Red Dead Redemption 2’s modded graphics are impressive, it’s worth noting that GTA VI is currently slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC port expected later. This has led to some concerns about how the game will perform on the less powerful Xbox Series S.
