The rumored PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S upgrade for Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a> has reportedly been pushed back. The talk around the industry is that Rockstar is putting Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a> first. So, at least for now<\/strong> there\u2019s still no native current-gen version of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the books, or at least none Rockstar has announced or confirmed. On PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S, the game still runs through backward compatibility.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

That part hasn\u2019t changed on current-gen hardware. Red Dead Redemption 2 still plays via backward compatibility<\/strong>, not as a proper native release built for these consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On PlayStation 5, that also means the game is still capped at 30 FPS<\/strong>. Players have been hoping for more for a long time: enhanced features, faster load times, and 60 FPS support. None of that has shown up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider NatetheHate2 says a next-gen version<\/strong> may already be real, and could even be finished. According to that claim, the holdup isn\u2019t technical. Rockstar is reportedly sitting on it for strategic reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
