Summary
It looks like a newRed Dead Redemption 2update could be coming at some point in the relatively near future. Rockstar Games releasedRed Dead Redemption 2to near-universal acclaim in 2018. After launch, it supported the game with substantial updates that focused on fixing bugs and addressing other issues on top of adding new content for fans to experience in theRed Dead Onlinemultiplayer mode.
Rockstar has since slowed down its support ofRed Dead Redemption 2. In fact,the lack of bigRed Dead Onlineupdateshas been a source of frustration for the community, with many criticizing Rockstar for not giving the mode the same attention enjoyed byGrand Theft Auto Online. Now Rockstar is fully dedicated toGrand Theft Auto 6, and so some fans may have assumedRed Dead Redemption 2would have been forgotten, but there is evidence to suggest that the open world western has a new update waiting in the wings.
As pointed out by PCGamesN, Rockstar has issued “72 separate updates” to the game’s file depots on Steam. In the past, activity like this has preceded new game updates, and so it is possible that a newRed Dead Redemption 2update of some description is coming soon. If the update exists, it’s anyone’s guess as to what it might entail. While some might have their fingers crossed for major newRed Dead Onlinecontent, fans shouldn’t hold their breath. It’s best to keep one’s expectations in check until Rockstar makes an official announcement, as it’s entirely possible that no new update is coming toRDR2at all.
One possibility is that aRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen upgradeis on the way that will include some improvements for the PC version. There have been rumors of aRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen port for years, but nothing has ever materialized. WithGrand Theft Auto 6not dropping until 2025, it’s easy to see how bringingRed Dead Redemption 2to PS5 and Xbox Series X with official ports would make a great deal of financial sense to keep fans busy in the meantime. Alternatively, maybeRed Dead Redemption 2will be getting an update that makes it Steam Deck verified.
That’s just speculation at this time, though. It’s possible thatRed Dead Redemption 2will never get a native release for PS5 and Xbox Series X, especially since the game is playable on both consoles already anyway, thanks to backward compatibility. Time will tell if anynewRed Dead Redemption 2updateis on the way, but fans should keep their eyes peeled just in case.
