Is Red Dead Redemption 2 upgraded on PS5?

Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) is by far one of the great story-rich western adventure video games that have been expected to release for the PS5 and Xbox Series X platforms soon. But recently multiple reports are coming out that the Next Gen Red Dead Redemption 2 game update won’t be available anytime soon. If you’re also eager to know about Next Gen Red Dead Redemption 2 Upgrade Release Date and Rumors, make sure to read this article.

Whereas it’s been almost 9 years or so since Rockstar Games did release another popular action-adventure video game called ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ which is also known as GTA V. Well, we all know about GTA 5 and its earlier editions that took the gaming market overwhelmed for so many years. Just like the new update of RDR2 for PS5 & Xbox Series X consoles, developers are also working on the upcoming GTA 6 title to release this fall as per multiple sources.

Now, it looks like several leaks or rumors have surfaced that the Red Dead Redemption 2’s next-gen upgrade has been canceled or halted due to the release of GTA 6 by the end of this year. Yes! That might be bad news for the RDR2 fans those who’re waiting for the latest PS5 & Xbox Series X console release for a few years. Rockstar Games reportedly ended up being canceled the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2’s current-gen on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles.

Next Gen Red Dead Redemption 2 Upgrade Expected Release Date

All of this is only happening for the GTA 6 developments and Rockstar consider focusing on it instead of RDR2. Previously, the GTA Trilogy remasters didn’t work well that much whatever was expected. So, the Rockstar Games team is keeping all things under the shelve to offer one by one, and not both titles together. That simply indicates Rockstar Games isn’t revealing the cancellation news officially yet until everything settles down properly.

In terms of the rumors or leaks, some well-known Twitter handles are also claiming that it’s quite strange to see such a poorly managed team of Rockstar. Where the company hasn’t done anything major improvement or title development in the past couple of years except for GTA V. Other major AAA title developers and publishers always try to push out the enhanced version for the next-gen consoles but Rockstar Games didn’t do it yet.

Fix: Red Dead Redemption 2 Not Showing on Steam or Rockstar Launcher

That's what I find strange. Nearly every major AAA developer has brought out enhanced versions of their titles over to the new consoles.
Rockstar still hasn't done anything except for GTAV.
This company is poorly managed.

So, we’re assuming that Rockstar Games will soon start working on the canceled or halted games like the next-gen Red Dead Redemption 2 title for the PS5 & Xbox Series X really soon once the GTA 6 hits the market publicly. However, we’re expecting that RDR2’s current-gen title won’t get released this year.

A new report has claimed that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be coming natively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at some point in the future. At this point in time, the latest title from Rockstar Games can be played on both PS5 and Xbox Series X thanks to backward compatibility, but the game itself doesn't fully take advantage of what each platform is capable of. And while Red Dead Redemption 2 does receive some performance upgrades on these consoles as it currently stands, it sounds like a native port of the title should be coming before long.

According to Tez2, who is a frequently cited Rockstar Games insider, Red Dead Redemption 2 should be heading to both PS5 and Xbox Series X "at some point down the road." This report notes that the new version of the game will be doled out via an update, which means that those who already own Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and Xbox One likely wouldn't have to pay to get the game upgraded. As for when this update might come about, Tez2 says that they have "no idea" when it could happen, but it seems likely that Rockstar is working on the upgrade at this point in time.

A RDR2 update for PS5 & XSX is planned at some point down the road. No idea when tho.

In a general sense, it wouldn't be shocking to see Rockstar Games update RDR2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X for a number of reasons. As it stands, the game has already sold tens of millions of copies, which means that Rockstar surely wants to keep the title alive for as long as possible. Not to mention, Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive has also teased within the past year that it will be releasing a high number of remasters and ports in the near future. While it never committed to Red Dead Redemption 2 being one of these ports, the game's previous success makes it seem like a very likely candidate.
