Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App Coming to iOS and Android

If you were hoping that Red Dead Redemption 2 would take over more devices than just your TV, you are in luck; Rockstar has announced the Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App, available on iOS and Android this Friday, just in time for launch.

As per the announcement:

The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App connects directly with your Playstation 4 or Xbox One as you play, delivering real-time interactive information to your smart device.

Specifically, the app will provide you with your character’s “core info and stats in real-time,” which will allow fans to play Red Dead without the in-game HUD. An exciting prospect for a game that promises to be as visually stunning as this one.

Further, the app gives you access to the game’s extensive map, and players can set waypoints with a quick tap on the screen.

Now, if Rockstar can just integrate Red Dead with my laptop, Kindle, iPod, Tesla, BlackBerry, PalmPilot, and pager, I’ll be all set.
