It's the same with all games on Xbox MC these days, almost always higher scores. Xbox only outlets seem to be much more forgiving. Look at the difference for Divinity OS2, Shadow of the tombraider etc. 

It also helps that most or all of these Xbox critics are playing on XB1 X, which is native 4k on RDR2 and has the highest framerate of all the platforms. That alone is worthy of the extra metascore point for the XB1 version imo. 

I doubt that the higher resolution and minuscule difference in fps would alter a review score. From what I've read, it doesn't change the experience.

Xbox One X: 29-30 fps on gameplay, drops as low as 21 fps on a single cutscene
PS4 Pro: 26-30 fps on gameplay, drops as low as 25 fps on a single cutscene

Nah, XB1 versions of multiplat games usually score higher because the PS4 versions have more reviews than the XB1 versions (e.g. 66 vs 14 for GTA V) and because a far bigger percentage of the XB1 reviews are therefore from platform centric outlets (e.g. Official Xbox Magazine UK, X-ONE Magazine UK, Pure Xbox, Xbox Achievements, MondoXbox, etc.) which tend to be far more generous.
