Red Dead Redemption 2 Likely To Have A PS5, Xbox Series Version As Per Leaks

Recently, an old document containing release date schedules for some of the top gaming titles by Microsoft was leaked. It included a list of several unannounced titles as well as developments in the console. 

Red Dead Redemption 2, the acclaimed western video game, is about to be released on current-generation consoles, according to a fresh FTC leak. A Game Awards nomination for Game of the Year went to Red Dead Redemption 2 when it first debuted in late 2018. Rockstar’s highly popular Grand Theft Auto Online, on the other hand, made the game’s online component struggle to gain traction in later years, and it eventually lost Rockstar’s support in 2017.

The loss of support for Red Dead Redemption 2’s online option led to frustration among many fans, despite the fact that it was largely praised when it was initially released. The developer of  Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar has recently received negative press, which has been amplified by the disastrous release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021.

A recent $50 price tag for a straightforward transfer of a game launched in 2010 caused dissatisfaction among players of the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions of Red Dead Redemption, which Rockstar had recently released.

Despite Rockstar’s recent missteps, Red Dead Redemption 2 players may be pleased to learn that the game is now preparing to be available on current-generation platforms. It was discovered that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on the Xbox Series X|S natively between January and March of 2024 as part of a significant FTC leak from May 2022, which regrettably disclosed many of Xbox’s plans for the ensuing years. Naturally, a native PS5 version ought to be anticipated as well as Red Dead 2 is a third-party title.

The exact document that was exposed in the leak focused on prospective games Xbox would try to add to Game Pass on day one. As a result, if Rockstar accepts a Game Pass offer, Xbox anticipates that Rockstar will need $5 million per month in order to deploy the port on Xbox’s service on the first try.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s current generation port is very much in accordance with Rockstar’s practices, since it accomplished the same with Grand Theft Auto 5 across numerous new platform generations since its release a decade ago. Red Dead Redemption 2’s native PS5 and Series X|S versions are still to be released, and while they still appear spectacular, the issue of whether they will be worth another complete purchase still looms.

It’s probable that fans will discover more before the end of the year, perhaps at The Game Awards in December, as Red Dead Redemption 2’s native current-gen version is scheduled to release in Q1 2024. Grand Theft Auto 6, which has been eagerly sought for a long time, is almost certainly going to be Rockstar’s next big release, despite rumors that Red Dead Redemption 3 is in the works.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available now on PC, and last gen consoles like PS4, and Xbox One.
