Following the release of the Red Dead Redemption port for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch this week, the PC gaming community wasted no time in testing the latest version of the game. This was achieved through the use of console emulators, in this case, the popular Ryujinx and Yuzu emulators Designed for the Nintendo Switch console.
A channel on YouTube He showed How does Red Dead Redemption play on the Steam Deck at 30 FPS?, along with the optimal settings for a smooth experience on the Valve laptop. Stable performance is observed in video, despite occasional small frame drops.

In contrast, various channels have shared videos that They show gameplay in 1080p and 4K using the Ryujinx and Yuzu emulators, both on the OpenGL and Vulkan APIs. The experience is smoother with Vulkan, although it does have some graphical issues, such as the one related to vegetation, due to AMD’s implementation of FSR. Nevertheless, It is likely that this problem will be solved in the short term, allowing optimal gameplay even on mid-range hardware.

Performance may improve with future versions of the emulators, especially on low to mid-range processors. In some videos, CPUs like the Ryzen 5500 or Core i5 9400F don’t reach 60 FPS on Ryujinx or Yuzu, but with future optimization it might allow it, even on GPUs like the GTX 1060.
However, it is important to note that if you have a mid-level or higher GPU, the Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia, provides superior performance and stronger visual quality, with no graphical issues.
