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 high cost of a PS5 is putting some pressure on Monster Hunter Wilds sales, Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto says, with the strong first-month sales apparently in spite of this barrier to entry.

Nikkei Gaming interviewed the Capcom president in May this year, but only just published it, so his comments are mainly in the context of Wilds' first month sales--which topped 10 million units in an unprecedented success for Capcom. Despite the game's strong first month Tsujimoto said that the high price of Monster Hunter Wilds' "main platform," the PS5, was an "unexpectedly large" barrier to achieving this target.

The exec also pointed to the success of the Switch 2 and its moderate price to emphasize his point--though didn't say anything about the potential for a Switch 2 port for Wilds.

Dolby has announced Dolby Vision 2, an upgrade to its proprietary HDR standard that is going beyond just HDR. The new standard implements AI tech, which Dolby says will intelligently adapt to the content you're watching to provide the best viewing experience.

Dolby Vision 2 boasts a more powerful image engine, which Dolby says will improve your viewing experience even for the existing library of Dolby Vision-supported content. The major difference for the new version of Dolby Vision is Content Intelligence, an AI-powered technology that claims to intelligently adapt your display based on "what you're watching and where you are watching."

These features include ambient-light detection and specific adjustments targeting the "unique needs" of live sports and gaming. The intelligent features also include a "Precision Black" feature that appears to be targeting viewer complaints that a lot of premium TV is too dark--saying Dolby Vision 2 can improve clarity of dark scenes "in any viewing environment without compromising artistic intent."

PlayStation Link, the proprietary wireless connectivity tech that powers Sony's duo of PS5 headsets, is finally getting a PC driver--almost two years after it launched. The driver is set to roll out between now and October 2, and will allow users to adjust settings and update their devices on PC without having to connect to a PS5.

The new PS Link driver will add a quick menu that's accessible from the system tray or by pressing the PS Link button three times on the device itself. The menu allows users to adjust audio settings for the Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore, and it shows the battery level and notifies users if a new firmware update is available.

Take full control of your audio experience on PC with Pulse Elite and Explore.
Introducing a PlayStation Link PC Driver for Windows, rolling out gradually starting today. For more details on the driver, visit: https://t.co/08WToD1rnq pic.twitter.com/n22aTyhcdD

With the driver installed, users can also update firmware for either audio device or for the PS Link dongle directly from the PC. The Elite and Explore will need to be directly connected to the PC via USB cable in order to update firmware.
