Rockstar reportedly abandons plans for ‘next-gen’ port of RDR2

Recently we reported that Rockstar Games had plans to remaster Grand Theft Auto IV as well as the original Red Dead Redemption. Unfortunately, these plans were dropped following the less-than-stellar release of the GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition. Unfortunately, it seems as though a PS5 / Series X port of Red Dead Redemption 2 has also been canned.

This report comes from Tez2, the original insider who leaked the fact that Rockstar was no longer developing remasters of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption. Following that initial claim, one user asked “I guess it’s safe to say that Red Dead Redemption II will never get a PS5/Xbox Series X/S release either?” to which Tez2 responded:

“Yes. I've heard about those a long time ago. As well as their plan to come up with an Enhanced Rockstar Editor. All cancelled/halted by now.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best looking games to release on 8th-gen consoles, and would have undoubtedly flourished on PS5 and Xbox Series X. It is a shame to see the response to Rockstar’s own shoddy ports be the reason as to why they are refusing to bring forward any of their other older titles instead of simply making better ports.
