Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5, Xbox Series X|S Update Said To Be Releasing Later This Year
The Switch 2 version is also expected to be released in a few months, too.
opencritic.comDirect answer: There’s no official, confirmed PS5 native version of Red Dead Redemption 2 announced by Rockstar as of now.
What the latest rumors and signals say
- Several outlets and insiders have floated the possibility of next-gen updates or native PS5/Xbox Series versions, with talk of a Switch 2 port as well, but these remain unconfirmed by Rockstar.[2][3][4]
- Some videos and reports in mid-2025 claimed “next-gen” patches or ports could arrive later in the year, yet none have been officially released or detailed by the publisher.[4][2]
- FTC court-doc leaks from 2023 suggested a PS5/Xbox Series version was considered, but that information did not result in a released update and timing was never finalized.[6]
What to watch for
- Official announcements from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive regarding any PS5-native version, upgraded engine features, or Switch 2/PS5 enhancements.
- Confirmation of a concrete release window (date or quarter) and platform scope (PS5/Xbox Series/Switch 2) in Rockstar’s communications or major press briefings.
Context for your location and gaming setup
- If you’re playing on PS5 in Los Angeles, you’d benefit from any native PS5 upgrade (4K, higher framerates, faster load times) once announced, but at present you’d be on PS4/PS5 backward-compatible performance if you stick with current releases.[2]
Illustration
- Conceptual path: current version on PS4/Xbox One → potential native PS5/Xbox Series upgrade → possible Switch 2 port, depending on Rockstar’s strategy (but nothing official yet).[3][4][2]
Would you like me to monitor for an official Rockstar confirmation and summarize any future statements with dates and feature details as soon as they’re released? I can also compare current PS5 upgrade rumors against any official patch notes once available.
