Summary
It seems as thoughRed Dead Redemption 2may finally be getting its PS5/Xbox Series X upgrade patch this year.Red Dead Redemption 2was a massive success at the time of its release in 2018. The open world western game earned widespread critical acclaim and sold millions of copies, with many praising it as one of the absolute best video games ever made.
Even thoughRed Dead Redemption 2was released seven years ago, there are rumors that Rockstar Games is not quite done with it yet. Apparently,Red Dead Redemption 2could be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year, though nothing official to that effect has been announced at the time of this writing. Rockstar brought the originalRed Dead Redemptionto the Switch 1, so it does seem natural to follow that up with aRed Dead Redemption 2Switch port, but that remains to be seen. Besides Switch 2 owners, it seemsRed Dead Redemption 2fans on PS5 and Xbox Series X may also have reason to be excited.
According to Gamereactor, citing sources close to Rockstar Games,Red Dead Redemption 2could be getting an upgrade patch for PS5 and Xbox Series X. While specifics are unavailable, theRed Dead Redemption 2PS5 and Xbox Series X update would apparently bring “the graphics and performance” of the game to PS5/Xbox Series X standards. ARed Dead Redemption 2upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X has been rumored for some time, but if the latest one is to be believed, it’s possible that it could be dropping later this year.
Fans have been asking for aRed Dead Redemption 2upgradefor years, as the game could really take advantage of the souped-up hardware. Notably,Red Dead Redemption 2does not run at 60 FPS on consoles, so that would be the big benefit of a proper update for the newer systems.
If aRed Dead Redemption 2PS5/Xbox Series X update does come this year, it could help fill the gap between now and the 2026 launch ofGrand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar recently delayedGTA 6’s release date to June 12, 2025, and so the company seemingly has no games releasing at all in 2025. A Switch 2 port alongside a next-gen upgrade forRed Dead Redemption 2would do wonders, as would therumoredGTA 4current-gen port. Of course, we don’t know how much truth there is to any of these claims, so fans should take all of this information with a grain of salt.
