Rockstar is working on versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. However, there is no clarity on the release dates.
Rockstar’s Plans for Red Dead Redemption 2
Leaker NateTheHate2 confirmed that the new versions for these consoles are in development. He noted that while there is excitement about the updates, no timeline for their release has been shared.
This follows earlier statements from NateTheHate2 suggesting a potential release on Switch 2 this year. Although a Nintendo Direct happened recently, Red Dead Redemption 2 did not appear during that event.
Background on Red Dead Redemption 2 and Rockstar
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best-selling games ever, ranking in the top 10. Rockstar has recently brought the original Red Dead Redemption to Switch in 2023, increasing interest in the sequel.
Additionally, there have been rumors about a remaster of GTA 4. Rockstar anticipates that the upcoming GTA VI will be the largest game launch in history.
Release Date and Further Developments
No specific release dates for the new versions have been provided by Rockstar or the leaker, leaving fans eager for updates.
The focus for Rockstar appears to shift towards Grand Theft Auto VI next year, which may suggest Red Dead updates will be prioritized sooner rather than later.
