Hold onto your cowboy hats, gamers, because the rumors are heating up: Red Dead Redemption 2 might finally be galloping onto the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a potential stop at the Nintendo Switch 2. But here's where it gets controversial—while many are thrilled at the prospect, others are questioning why it's taken so long for these ports to materialize. According to reliable leaker NateTheHate, these upgraded versions aren't just a pipe dream—they're real, and they're still on track for release. But this is the part most people miss: despite the excitement, there’s been a trail of false starts, like a voice actor tease that turned out to be nothing more than a cast reunion. So, what’s the holdup? Rockstar, known for playing by its own rules, hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but history shows they can drop announcements out of nowhere—remember the PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption, which was announced and released just 10 days apart? Or the GTA 6 trailers that appeared seemingly from thin air? And let’s not forget, Red Dead Redemption 2 has been playable on PS5 via backward compatibility, but it’s capped at 30 frames per second and runs at a lower resolution than its Xbox counterpart. So, the big question is: would an enhanced version with smoother performance and better visuals be worth diving back into the Wild West? And here’s the real kicker: could this be Rockstar’s way of softening the blow for the long wait for GTA 6? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—are you ready to saddle up again, or is this upgrade too little, too late? One thing’s for sure: if NateTheHate’s track record is anything to go by, we might not have to wait much longer to find out. [Source: x.com via videogameschronicle.com]
