Everything You Need to Know About the Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App has been announced. The app will allow players to connect the PS4 and Xbox One game to a mobile device. This will open up some optional but helpful features for use in the main game. In addition, it will be available the same day as the game this Friday so you won’t have to wait much longer.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App will be available for free on both iOS and Android devices. It will offer “real-time interactive information” to your mobile device for use in the main game. Your mobile device will essentially become like a second screen for Red Dead Redemption 2. Of course, this means you will be able to use the app as an interactive map (which leaked recently) without opening up the menu.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App’s map will come complete with the ability to set up points for you to check out and they will actually appear in the game. However, that isn’t all that the app is useful for. In addition, players are able to see various HUD components like health and so on in the app, too.

This is extremely useful for players who want to play with a minimal HUD in the game. Those players will be able to enjoy a more cinematic experience but still be able to see vital data when necessary. There are also other little features available through the app like checking various stats, reading Arthur’s journal, and much more.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App will launch alongside the highly anticipated game this Friday on October 26, 2018. The app is optional, of course, but does allow for various quality-of-life improvements. It remains to be seen if the Western game will get a PC release that will connect to the app in the future.
