As per the announcement:

Specifically, the app will provide you with your character’s “core info and stats in real-time,” which will allow fans to play Red Dead without the in-game HUD. An exciting prospect for a game that promises to be as visually stunning as this one.

Further, the app gives you access to the game’s extensive map, and players can set waypoints with a quick tap on the screen.

Now, if Rockstar can just integrate Red Dead with my laptop, Kindle, iPod, Tesla, BlackBerry, PalmPilot, and pager, I’ll be all set.

Be sure to check back with GameSkinny for all of our Red Dead Redemption 2 coverage later in the week.
