The best version of Red Dead Redemption 2 is the PC one. On console, Series X gives more resolution and PS5 a cleaner frame rate.
PC lets you set resolution and quality, and it is the only version with 120 FPS, DLSS 2.2 and FSR 2.2. It is also the most demanding: the fastest of the 39 cards we measured, an RTX 2080 Ti, only manages 60-69 FPS at 1080p on the DX12 Ultra preset, and an RTX 2070 SUPER drops to 54-57.
On console there is no current-generation build at all. PS5 and Series X run the previous one in backwards compatibility, landing practically where PS4 Pro and Xbox One X did. Series X reaches 3840×2160p and PS5 stops at 1920×2160p; in exchange, PS5 holds a constant 30 FPS while Series X carries a slight frame-pacing issue.
Price points at PC: its key is the cheapest at 12.09 € on Driffle, with the Xbox one at 12.23 € on Eneba. PS5 has no key, and the cheapest option there is the physical edition at 14.99 €.

PC. It is the only version with free resolution and quality, 120 FPS and DLSS 2.2 or FSR 2.2 upscaling. Among consoles Series X leads, reaching 3840×2160p against the 1920×2160p of PS5.
No. The game is not optimised for the current generation: PS5 and Series X run the older build in backwards compatibility, landing practically where PS4 Pro and Xbox One X did.
Series X reaches 3840×2160p. PS5 stops at 1920×2160p, the ceiling PS4 Pro hit in this game. These are figures observed in the video analysis, not a measurement of ours.
Thirty on both. PS5 keeps them constant; Series X carries a slight frame-pacing issue, so motion reads a little less clean.
No. PCGamingWiki does not list it for the PC version and the official Xbox catalogue does not declare it either.
On Xbox yes, according to the official catalogue. On PC it is partial: PCGamingWiki marks it as limited.
More than the age of the game suggests. Of the 39 cards we measured on the DX12 Ultra preset, the fastest is an RTX 2080 Ti at 60-69 FPS at 1080p; an RTX 2080 sits at 56-60 and a Radeon RX 5700 XT at 51-55. On the requirements page you can pick yours and see the figure.
On PC, DLSS 2.2 and FSR 2.2. No figure is published for the console versions.
On PC yes. The Xbox catalogue does not declare 120 FPS for this game, and there is no published figure for PS5.
The cheapest key is on PC, 12.09 € on Driffle, followed by the Xbox key at 12.23 € on Eneba. PS5 has no key: the cheapest there is the physical edition at 14.99 €. Watch out for account offers, which look cheaper because they are not a purchase in your name.
