Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App Has Been Quietly Delisted

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 included access to the game map, including the ability to mark waypoints and points of interest, and also displayed info such as health and ammo on the app, meaning you could remove the HUD from the actual game screen. The app also included a game manual, and offered the official game guide as an optional purchase.

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. Players who previously downloaded the app will be able to re-download it through either app storefront, even if they don’t still have it installed.

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. Rockstar is also reportedly working on RDR2 ports for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
