The possibility of seeing a native version of Rockstar’s western on next-generation consoles is gaining momentum again. In recent days, Red Dead Redemption 2 has returned to the spotlight due to the proximity of a possible release adapted to Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.

This is not the first time this update has been discussed, but now the comments are piling up and the context is starting to fit. With GTA 6 scheduled for November, Rockstar would have room to relaunch one of its most important titles, taking advantage of the pre-launch period and keeping its star catalog active.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox Series and PS5 could arrive this year

• The latest information comes from industry insiders who claim that a version for current consoles is closer than expected, with a release window set before the end of the year. No date or format has been confirmed, but everything points to an adaptation designed to take better advantage of current hardware.
• If released, this version would allow players to enjoy the game with better performance, reduced loading times, and possible technical improvements, something highly demanded by the community since the launch of Xbox Series and PS5. Currently, the title still works through backward compatibility, without a specific update.

For now, Rockstar has not made any official announcement, so it’s best to remain cautious. Nevertheless, the growing number of references to this version and the studio’s release calendar suggest that Red Dead Redemption 2 could return to the scene very soon, also serving as a perfect precursor to the release of GTA 6.
