Rockstar’s mobile app hits on the game’s launch day

Rockstar Games will release a companion app for Red Dead Redemption 2 on Oct. 26, the same day the full game hits stores, that will deliver “real-time interactive information” to Android and iOS devices.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 app will let players view the game’s world map, and set waypoints and mark areas of interest as they explore, according to a post on Rockstar Games’ website. The app also promises real-time information on Arthur Morgan’s health, stamina and other stats, which Rockstar says will aid players who prefer a HUD-less game presentation.

Players can also examine Arthur’s in-game journal, which is updated with new entries and illustrations over the course of the game’s story, in the app. It will feature stat tracking and a digital game manual, too.

Red Dead Redemption 2 will hit PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Friday, Oct. 26. Players will be able to download the companion app from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store the same day.
