Game news Red Dead Redemption 2: the PS5 and Xbox Series update would be in jeopardy
Published on 07/09/2022 at 10:24
A few days ago, Rockstar unveiled its plans for the future of Red Dead Redemption II’s Online mode, admitting that the game will now receive less attention than before. This bad news is accompanied by another, since we learn today that RDR2 may never land on last generation consoles.
The End of the Cowboys
It smells scorched for Red Dead Redemption II. The fan-favorite Rockstar western is far from being the priority of its parent, who prefers to capitalize on the multiplayer of his previous game, Grand Theft Auto V. Despite all the community’s love for the software,
the studio never really enriched it like its big brother. A situation that is not ready to change since Rockstar has just unveiled its roadmap,
once more confessing that it will not receive a major update in the future.
Obviously, Red Dead Redemption II and its multiplayer mode are not completely dead, but Rockstar intends to ensure the minimum in order to devote itself fully to the next GTA. And while the last hopes of the community were placed in a potential Next-Gen updateit seems that it also stuck on this side. A well-known insider recently said that the PS5/Xbox Series version is likely cancelled, or at least pushed back.
When it doesn’t want, it doesn’t want
The information comes to us from Tez2, an Insider who regularly shares information regarding Rockstar games. According to the person concerned, the studio would have simply abandoned the idea of bringing the software to the latest generation consoles.
– I guess it’s safe now to say that Red Dead Redemption II will never see a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release?
– Yes. It’s been a long time since I heard regarding (this version). Just like their plan to release an improved editor. Everything is cancelled/postponed for the moment.
So yes, you have to take tweezers with this information. First, because Rockstar has never claimed to be working on a Next-Gen version. Then, because Tez2, even if the user is often very well informed, contradicts itself here. Indeed, he recently revealed that Rockstar was still working on this update! If the timing of this last statement suggests that this project is not, or no longer, in the studio’s pipeline, we will have to wait for more information from Rockstar themselves before we can conclude. anything.
A RDR2 update for PS5 & XSX is planned at some point down the road. No idea when tho.
