Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App Has Been Quietly Delisted
Briefly

Red Dead Redemption 2 originally offered a mobile companion app that provided a second-screen experience with access to the map, waypoint and point-of-interest marking, HUD elements such as health and ammo, and an in-app game manual and optional official guide purchase. The app was quietly removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on August 19, but remains re-downloadable only for users who previously downloaded it and retains purchased guide access. Rockstar has not provided a reason for the delisting. Red Dead Redemption 2 is nearly seven years old as support for Red Dead Online has declined, and Rockstar appears focused on future projects including Grand Theft Auto 6 and rumored RDR2 ports.
Red Dead Redemption 2 launched with a handy mobile companion app that let players use a tablet or phone as a second screen for the game, providing easy access to the map and other HUD features. The app has now been quietly delisted from Google Play and the iOS App Store, meaning only players who already downloaded the app will be able to access it.
The app was delisted from both the App Store and the Google Play store on August 19, something that has only just been picked up now thanks to two listings on the Rockstar support site, as picked up by Game Rant. The support articles are low on detail, saying only that the app is no longer available except to players who previously downloaded it. It also says that the game guide will remain available through the app for players who purchased it there.
Rockstar hasn't said why the app was discontinued, though Red Dead Redemption 2 is now almost seven years old. The game also spun off into the live-service western sandbox of Red Dead Online, though Rockstar's support for the title has dwindled over time. With Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon, it's no surprise that Rockstar would be focusing on getting the hotly anticipated sequel ready for its May 26, 2026 release date.
