If you've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox and wondering how such a beautiful game could come without a photo mode, that's because Xbox was left out of the deal between PlayStation and Rockstar that guaranteed a period of exclusivity for the feature.
In addition, several missions were also timed-exclusives for PlayStation at launch, though last fall's staggered ports to Stadia and PC also gave those versions this exclusive content. Finally, all of this once-exclusive content is today available on Xbox.
Here's everything that's included in the update today:
- 3 Story Mode Bounty Hunter Missions
- 2 Story Mode Gang Hideouts
- 2 Story Mode Treasure Maps
- “To The Ends of The Earth” Story Mode Mission
- 4 Weapons Added to Story Mode
- 7 Horse Breeds Added to Story Mode
- 5 Hidden Trinkets Added to Story Mode

Red Dead Redemption 2 came to PS4 and Xbox One in 2018, receiving virtually unanimous praise. This past fall, it also migrated to Stadia and PC -- the first time ever that the series has come to either platform. Its OpenCritic average of of 96 makes it one of the best-reviewed games of all-time.
