- The next-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been in high demand.
- A new trailer has recently surfaced, proving an alleged March 2025 date for the game on PS5 and Xbox Series S|X.
- This version seems to be based on the PC port, promising 60FPS gameplay for consoles.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games in the history of the industry. It is praised for its fluid gameplay, mechanics, stunning visuals, and gripping storyline.
Originally released in 2018 for the PS4 and Xbox One, the demand for a next-gen version of the game has been high ever since the new consoles launched. Fortunately, it seems Rockstar will finally fulfill these demands next year.
Why it matters: Red Dead Redemption 2 has been out for over six years. While the game remains visually impressive on next-gen consoles, many players are still clamoring for a next-gen version to fully utilize the enhanced power and features of the next gen consoles.
A leaked trailer has recently surfaced and was shared by Twitter user CofeeSneeze. The user points to a leaked Red Dead Redemption 2 video that reveals a March 2025 launch for PS5 and Xbox Series S|X versions of the game.
The video was originally shared on Reddit, and the original poster claims to be a Rockstar employee. It was also mentioned that the next-gen version would be very similar to the PC port.
This would mean that fans can at least expect 60FPS gameplay since the current cap of 30FPS is the biggest disappointment for fans. The footage also shows a focus on Arthur Morgan over other technical features.
Still, it is worth taking this information with a grain of salt since other sources have yet to verify the leak. Recently, a Bully remaster/remake has also been rumored, so a new version of Red Dead Redemption 2 may be part of a broader push for additional re-releases from Rockstar.
Not having a significant graphical improvement in a next-gen version is a bit disappointing. However, considering how visually stunning Red Dead Redemption 2 remains even today, it’s not surprising that Rockstar might skip a major graphical overhaul for this upgrade.
Elsewhere, a PC version of Red Dead Redemption has been practically confirmed. Therefore, Rockstar seems to have a lot planned for this IP, even if no new entry is in the works.
