Fans have been demanding a next-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 ever since the launch of modern consoles. But they’ve constantly been disappointed, given that Rockstar has provided no update yet. However, we may finally have some great news for the fans of the game! A latest report suggests that RDR2 is getting a next-gen version, along with a port for the Nintendo Switch 2. Let’s take a deep dive into the report.
RDR2 Next-Gen Version
Red Dead Redemption 2 has constantly been criticised for being 30fps on modern consoles. Heck, even Arthur Morgan himself mocked the game for being stuck at 30fps in the past. But well, this news is likely going to make fans happy. The latest report by GameReactor suggested that a next-gen version of the game is in the works at Rockstar Games.
The report states, the game’s “next-gen upgrade patch will bring the graphics and performance of Red Dead Redemption 2 up to date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.” More details about the remaster are yet to be revealed. We’ll make sure to provide an update if there is any new development. Ever since its release, the game has managed to sell over 74 million copies to date. So safe to say, a next-gen version has been long overdue.
RDR2 on Nintendo Switch 2
The Rockstar Games library on the Nintendo Switch isn’t very huge. It only includes a handful of games, and fans have been demanding more. Well, due to the updated hardware on the Nintendo Switch 2, it looks like this may finally be possible. Along with the next-gen version of the game, the same report suggests that the game will also be making its way onto the new Nintendo handheld later this year. It even suggests that chances are the game could launch on the new console the same day as the next-gen version comes out.

Since we’re on the topic of ports and remasters, did you know it GTA 4 is being ported over to modern consoles? The report came from Tez2, a popular GTA insider. He suggested that instead of a remaster, the game is likely just getting a regular port. Rockstar has done the same in the past, with the original Red Dead Redemption, which was released a very few years back.
