Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Ports Reportedly still in Development

rumors ⁣of improved versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 for current-generation consoles continue to circulate, with a recent claim from insider Natthehate suggesting native ports for PlayStation ⁤5, Xbox⁢ Series X/S, and ⁢perhaps Nintendo Switch 2 are still actively in development ⁣at ‌Rockstar Games.

Initial, unconfirmed reports surfaced in May 2024, ⁣indicating the ⁣award-winning title would receive enhanced ports.⁤ While an official declaration has yet to be made, the continued development suggests Rockstar intends ‌to ⁣release these versions before shifting full⁣ focus to the highly anticipated Grand theft Auto VI. The release‌ of the Red Dead Redemption 2 ‍ports this‌ year would allow Rockstar to‌ capitalize on continued ‍player interest in the title ‌before the launch of GTA⁢ VI fully captures the gaming ‍community’s attention.

The potential ports would bring visual and performance upgrades to the critically‌ acclaimed Western,‍ offering a refreshed experience for⁢ players on newer hardware. Natthehate’s claims, shared on⁣ X (formerly Twitter), indicate Rockstar is deliberately ⁢holding back on a reveal date and details surrounding the edition itself.
