Rumor: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5, Xbox Series X Version Could Be in the Works

Rockstar Games released Red Dead Redemption 2 to rave reviews in 2018, with it quickly becoming one of the highest-rated video game releases of all time. Red Dead Redemption 2 was initially only available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but a year later, Rockstar brought the open world epic to PC and Google Stadia.

Leaker AccountNgt says that a next-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming, but that's all the information they have for now. As it stands, there are no native PS5 or Xbox Series X versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 available, though playing the game on the newer hardware does result in better performance. Native versions would, of course, yield even greater results, and so that's why some fans want to see the game make the jump.

Something else that might stir up some controversy if such a project is announced is the current state of Red Dead Online. Many fans have criticized Rockstar Games for neglecting Red Dead Online, with the company instead focused on releasing new content for Grand Theft Auto
