A new leak indicates that the upgraded version of RDR2 has been cancelled, following similar reports of Rockstar shedding the Red Dead Redemption remake.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure game released in 2018 developed and published by Rockstar Games.
A known Rockstar Games leaker has stated that Red Dead Redemption 2 will not receive an upgrade on the new console generation. Rockstar has a history of releasing new versions of their titles on various console generations, primarily with the Grand Theft Auto series. 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V – which launched initially on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – has been re-released on console generations and received another upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in March 2022 .
However, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption “cow boy” franchise has received less attention in terms of re-releases despite its commercial and critical success, with its latest entry, Red Dead Redemption 2, sold over 44 million copies as of May 2022. Rumor has it that 2010’s Red Dead Redemption is slated to be remade alongside GTA 4 to bring it to modern consoles and possibly for the first time. first on PC. However, these plans were said to have been scrapped after the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which was almost criticized for many bugs and lack of features.
Rockstar Tez2 leaker announced recently on July 4th that the new generation Red Dead Redemption 2 update for PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series S/X is coming soon, but now it looks like this person has turned back to reaffirm his earlier statement.

Although canceled, gamers do not seem to be disappointed to know that Rockstar is focusing resources on GTA 6.
Upon release, Red Dead Redemption 2 was praised for its incredibly detailed and visually impressive world that pushed the limits of the hardware’s capabilities, so hopefully a new generation release will mainly focused on 4K resolution and higher frame rates – as well as taking advantage of PS5’s DualSense – which are features that could have been updated like many other recent titles. Despite the disappointing rumor that this upgrade has been paused, Red Dead Redemption 2 is now playable on today’s consoles via both PlayStation and Xbox’s backwards compatibility scheme and is also included in the bundle. PlayStation’s revamped PlayStation Plus subscription launched last month.
Rockstar has yet to make an official statement on the matter, although new-generation versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 were never officially announced in the first place, so it’s unlikely that the developer will do so. so. While this news will likely disappoint Red Dead fans, Rockstar’s focus on Grand Theft Auto 6 is good news for Grand Theft Auto fans who have been eagerly looking forward to the sequel. and have largely criticized the act of repeatedly re-releasing GTA 5 over the past decade. While very little is known about GTA 6 other than unconfirmed rumors and leaks, Rockstar officially confirmed that they are actively developing the title meaning fans don’t have too much time to wait. Waiting for more details.
