Red Dead Redemption 2 horse and wagon crashing into telegraph pole and flying through the sky.

You only have to take one look at ourRed Dead Redemption 2 reviewto see that it’s a slow-burn masterpiece of an RPG that takes immersion in video games to a fantastic level. RDR2 is a great game, no doubt about it.

But, you know what would make Red Dead Redemption 2 even better? I know what you’re thinking, supersonic horses! What better way to take an already great game and inject it with that X-factor to take it to S-rank. What was Rockstar thinking in not making maximum horse and wagon velocity a toggleable option?!

Luckily, talented content creator Blurbstv has got our backs here, modding Red Dead Redemption 2 so that the dream of supersonic stallions is achieved. And, well, as can be seen from the video below, the results are quite frankly ridiculous.

What’s more, turning horse and wagon speed up to this level seems to totally break the game’s engine, too, with horses and wagons sent careering seemingly with no cause into buildings and other NPCs. Then there’s the moment when Arthur is trying to catch-up and stop a horse-drawn wagon for a story mission, only to find himself chasing a carriage that is flying around in the sky, with its horses zigging and zagging across the great blue as if they were descendants of Pegasus.

I think it fair to say that this is not how you should experience Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time as, and I’m going to go out on a limb here, but I’m guessing it may just break the believable late-19th century Wild West vibes somewhat. But, then again, if you’ve already had your fill of RDR2 and fancy injecting it with some cuckoo-bannanas madness, I think this looks like a stupid-fun way to do that.

Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t the most modded game on PC, but there are plenty of other great mods out there for this RPG in 2024,such as the Jobs Mod, which lets Arthur work as a bartender, dockworker, and delivery man. Well worth checking out if you’re looking to expand on the game’s base experience.
