Red Dead Redemption Remastered for PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 Rumors Persist Despite Release of Native Versions on Multiple Platforms
Rumors of an updated Red Dead Redemption version for PS4 and Switch circulated for some time. Then, in August, Rockstar emphasized bringing RDR to those platforms, enhancing the graphics to 4K on PS4 and including the Undead Nightmare DLC. Two years later, speculation began that Red Dead Redemption 2 would receive similar treatment for the PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2. These rumors gained traction until Rockstar surprised fans by announcing native versions of the first game for PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and mobile via Netflix. However, hope remains for a Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Possible Cross-Platform Release in Early 2026 Amid Delayed GTA 6 and Rockstar Internal Changes
According to Natethehate, a reliable source who initiated the rumor, releasing native versions of RDR1 on current consoles will not interfere with the release of Red Dead Redemption 2. He clarified this on social media in response to inquiries. Back in January, Natethehate had heard that an improved version of RDR2 was planned for release a few months after the launch of Nintendo’s new console. Despite the recent RDR1 release announcement, Natethehate maintains that RDR2 is still planned. In a tweet, Natethehate stated that the enhanced version of RDR2 was initially slated for release a few months after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, but that the delay of GTA 6 and other internal decisions at Rockstar had caused a shift in plans. Consequently, Red Dead Redemption 2 may still be released on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S, with a possible release in early 2026, though a definitive window is yet to be announced. While awaiting official confirmation, fans can revisit the world of Red Dead Redemption on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and mobile starting December 2, 2025.
