Red Dead Redemption 2 has left many gamers feeling neglected, especially in comparison to the ongoing support for GTA 5. Despite being over a decade old, GTA 5 continues to receive regular updates and new content, while the western game has been effectively abandoned. The lack of full support for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles has been a major disappointment for fans, but there may be hope on the horizon.
Rumors of a next-gen patch for Red Dead Redemption 2 have been circulating, with a user named johnnytheacrob claiming to have insider information from a former Rockstar Games employee. According to this source, the studio has had a next-gen patch ready for some time, offering improved performance and updated graphics. Despite previous claims of its cancellation, the patch has apparently only been postponed.
Reports suggest that Rockstar Games has had the patch ready since June of last year, specifically for PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. The delay in its release was reportedly to avoid distracting players from the remaster of Red Dead Redemption and the upcoming GTA 6 trailer. The exact release date remains unknown, as it is dependent on management decisions, but it could be imminent.
If the leak is to be believed, the update will introduce both a performance mode and a quality mode, with the former locked at 60 frames per second. Additionally, elements from the online mode may be integrated into the single-player game.
