Rockstar Games has yet to delight Red Dead Redemption 2 enthusiasts with a significant update.

Rumors of a next-generation version of Red Dead Redemption 2 have been circulating for a considerable time, but players still haven’t received the highly anticipated 60 FPS update for current-gen consoles.

In contrast, Ubisoft recently surprised its fanbase by releasing an update for the 2014 title, Assassin’s Creed Unity, which now officially supports 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

This development has left Red Dead Redemption 2 fans observing with a touch of sadness and envy as AC Unity players now enjoy their game at a smoother 60 FPS, highlighting the ongoing frustration within the RDR2 community regarding the lack of similar performance enhancements.

The sentiment in the RDR community was aptly captured by blogger “ben” who shared a meme, based on a scene from the cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants,” to illustrate the situation:

Still no 60 FPS update for RDR2 on consoles 🙁
