Latest PlayStation Rumor for Red Dead Redemption II Further Outlines Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 Focus

For a while now, there have been several reports claiming that Rockstar Games is working on the next-gen upgrades of the iconic 2018 blockbuster Red Dead Redemption II. And just recently, a new rumor has suggested something else, bringing a bad update for the fans who were hoping for it to happen.

In case anyone missed it, Red Dead Redemption II is already playable on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, it still lacks support for 60 FPS gameplay, which could have been included in a next-gen port. But now, the latest rumor has presented a contradictory angle on the entire situation surrounding Rockstar Games.

Rockstar Games has canceled PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S ports for Red Dead Redemption II, suggests rumor

Developed by GTA’s Rockstar Games, the second installment in its franchise was launched four years ago. Initially, it made its way to the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One platforms. The story of the game is set in the year 1899 and follows the journey of outlaw Arthur Morgan. He’s a member of the Van der Linde gang, under the fictionalized representation of Western, Midwestern, and Southern United States.

The title has gained a reputation among the fans for being a phenomenal video game ever released in history. While the players have enjoyed it on the last-gen consoles, it’s also available for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S but with a locked frame-rate. Recently, several leaks had claimed that Red Dead Redemption II will get a proper port for the PlayStation 5, along with the newest Xbox series.

Sadly, though, the latest rumor on such claims has now made the fans disappointed. On Reddit, an account known as u/NickyTheNewt, shared a post that reportedly revealed something about the next-gen ports of RDR2. The original post has been removed now, but it still mentions that Red Dead Redemption II is not getting any PS5 or Xbox Series X|S ports.

As soon as this rumor spread across Reddit, some fans approached the comments section to express their frustration. According to them, Rockstar’s team has no clue right now about what they are doing. Some wrote that the publisher has become a joke at this moment. Others were simply disappointed to know that the upgrades were not happening. Have a look at some of them below:

On the other hand, the main focus of Rockstar’s team seems to be on the next big entry in the Grand Theft Auto saga. So far, there’s been no major reveal on GTA VI apart from the announcement regarding the commencement of its development. Expectations of the fans for this project are currently through the roof, to say the least.
