Rockstar Games is getting ready to open the floodgates to the thousands of gamers eagerly awaiting the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 this Friday, October 26. In addition to arguably the most anticipated game release of the year, Rockstar is also preparing the launch of an official Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app for iOS and Android devices. The release of the app will be aligned with the release of the game.
According to the official release, the Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app connects directly with your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One as you play, delivering real-time interactive information to your smart device. Players can pan and zoom the map, set waypoints or mark areas of interest with a tap on the screen, aiding their exploration and discovery throughout the expansive world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The app will also double as a digital manual and optionally include a copy of the official guide to Red Dead Redemption 2 by Piggyback. Presumably, this will be available as an in-app purchase.
Perhaps most intriguing, the app will also show you Arthur Morgan’s core info and stats in real-time on your device, allowing you to completely remove the in-game HUD from your TV. Given how cinematic and beautiful Red Dead Redemption 2 is stacking up to be, a HUD-less experience may be very appealing.
Keep an eye on your local iOS App Store or Android Google Play store for the release of the official Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app on October 26, 2018.
