Red Dead Redemption finally rides onto PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2

Rockstar Games is bringing Red Dead Redemption to modern hardware at last, giving the 2010 classic a fresh release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2. The update includes 4K support on PlayStation and Xbox, higher frame rates, and faster loading that takes advantage of current-gen CPUs and SSDs. While it isn’t a full remake, the new version delivers a noticeably cleaner and smoother experience that brings the game closer to contemporary standards.

On Switch 2, Rockstar is targeting enhanced portable performance with upgraded textures and stability improvements over the original handheld ports. The release also bundles the fan-favorite Undead Nightmare expansion, considered one of the best pieces of DLC in Rockstar’s catalogue.

For many players, this marks the first time the original Red Dead Redemption will be natively playable on modern consoles, closing a long-standing gap in Rockstar’s library and renewing interest in one of gaming’s most influential open-world titles.

Harmonic Empire debuts Xiao Qiao, a mecha-inspired IEM built for modern listeners

Harmonic Empire, a new audio brand co-founded by TANGZU and independent investors, has launched its first in-ear monitor, the Xiao Qiao. The company positions the debut model as a blend of young design sensibilities, mecha-inspired aesthetics and serious acoustic engineering aimed at the growing community of audiophiles and gamers.

The Xiao Qiao features a 10mm graphene dynamic driver tuned for fast transients, tight bass and clear mids, while avoiding the phase issues common in multi-driver setups. Its semi-open design lets the driver “breathe,” creating a wider soundstage and reducing internal pressure for a cleaner, more natural presentation. The housing is built from aviation-grade aluminium using 5-axis CNC machining, paired with a precision 3D-printed acoustic cavity for consistent performance.

The IEM includes a detachable 0.78mm two-pin connector and a custom 5N LC-OFC silver-plated cable from Vortex. Available in Orange and Purple, the Xiao Qiao is priced at ₹6,499 on Headphone Zone.
