Microsoft just gave players around the world a new reason to be interested in the purchase of a band new Xbox One X, by releasing a 4K patch for Red Dead Redemption, which can now be enjoyed to the fullest on current television sets. This new update is yet another proof that an official remaster of the game is never going to happen, something which was very unlikely anyway. The good news is that the Xbox One X patch improves image quality tremendously, as proven by a first gameplay video inside, which should soon be followed by a second when it's done encoding.
Update: Second video added.

Anyway, looks really incredible - a shame it ran like shit on its original consoles
Check the gallery images in full size to see that there's no added sharpness :

EDIT : I just tried and if I play the 4K video on a 1080p screen, or even the 1080p video but not in full screen I get pixel crawling because the player does not filter the video in a good way.
And as the PS4 is not backward compatible you can only play it on PS3, unless you pay for PS Now on PS4 (and it will still be the PS3 version).

I wonder if we'll get to see Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata in 4k 60fps.
In the BC regard the One X is pretty amazing. Getting more and more interested in getting one thanks to this and the fact that it uses a closed liquid cooler. Really sets the standard. All I they have to do now for me to get one is to get Ninja Gaiden 2 on the system and patch Halo Reach and Perfect Dark Zero to 4K.
I agree what Miguel said.
If i remember correctly Microsoft won't change the code.
So if the game was locked on 30fps on x360 it would be locked on XBoX One X too.
That was also at least once discussed on a DigitalFoundry Video.
