There's been a lot of buzz lately about a potential release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. A leaked trailer has been making its rounds on social media, but there's some question as to whether it's the real deal or just a fan-made creation. This comes hot on the heels of another exciting rumor that Rockstar's beloved game, Bully, is getting a remastered version for the newer consoles.
The leaked trailer claims that Red Dead Redemption 2, which originally came out in 2018 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, will finally be making its way to the next-gen consoles in March 2025. However, there's been speculation that the port may have been abandoned. The 44-second trailer was supposedly leaked by a former employee of Rockstar, who stated that the release was planned for March 2025 but may have been scrapped to avoid interfering with the marketing for GTA 6.
The leaked trailer focuses on the game's protagonist, Arthur, and the story rather than any new graphical features. Some speculate that it's just the PC version of the game adapted for consoles, meant to entice old fans to double-dip. However, others remain skeptical of its legitimacy, with some pointing out sloppy editing and possible use of free cam during cutscenes.
If the rumors are true and Red Dead Redemption 2 does come to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in 2025, it would be released just six months before the highly anticipated GTA 6. Some find this hard to believe, as the release of GTA 6 alone is expected to generate enough excitement without the need for a port of an older game. Others believe it could just be a fan-made trailer that Rockstar ultimately decided to scrap.
Regardless of its authenticity, fans are eager to see if they will ever get to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on the next-gen consoles. If you have any insider information or thoughts on the matter, feel free to email us, leave a comment, follow us on Twitter, and sign up for our newsletter.
