Rumor: Red Dead Redemption 2 Next Gen Patch To Be Announced In 2022

Red Dead Redemption 2 could get a whole lot prettier and run better with the help of the PS5 and Xbox Series X power.

Many Red Dead Redemption fans would like a return of the western classic in a new guise. Their prayers may be answered, but if they do, then not too soon: According to an insider, a remake or rather a remaster of Red Dead Redemption should come. However, it will take a while before this is even announced, which is no longer expected in 2022. But an RDR2 patch for PS5 and Xbox One could be unveiled, even if it won’t come this year either.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Patch for PS5 and Xbox Series X / S – that could be in it

Red Dead Redemption 2 can be played on the downwardly compatible Next Gen or Current Gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series S / X, but the more powerful hardware is not really exhausted. That could change with a so-called next-gen patch or upgrade.

Will it be announced in 2022? According to a supposed insider, this PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade will be announced later this year. When the patch will be released is still in the stars. There is a small chance that the publication will also take place in 2022, but he is more certain about the announcement (via: DualShockers).

That could be inside: Upgrading the PS5 and Xbox Series S / X could make the game even prettier. This includes a higher (variable) frame rate beyond 60 FPS, a native 4K resolution, more details and some effects that were previously reserved for the PC version. In addition, such a next-gen patch should also drastically reduce loading times.

How serious is that? It’s hard to say. But it seems quite likely that Rockstar is working internally to make RDR 2 fit for the current consoles. The same applies to a possible remaster of Red Dead Redemption: It could well be that a new edition is planned. In any case, there is a high demand among fans for both. Overall, AccNgt is a reasonably reliable source and, for example, already has Star Wars Eclipse predicted.

Red Dead Redemption could appear again as a remaster.

Red Dead Redemption could return as a remaster in the style of the GTA trilogy

This is what it’s about: Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge hit and is still enjoying tremendous popularity. Many fans hope that the predecessor will come onto the market again with fancier graphics and with one or the other improvement. Accordingly, rumors of a remake or remaster persist.

Remaster oder Remake? According to the insider AccNgt, the allegedly planned new edition of RDR should be more of a remaster than a remake. According to the Twitter account, the whole thing could work in a similar way to what Rockstar commissioned for the GTA trilogy: slightly nicer graphics, higher resolution, more images per second and some minor improvements. But we shouldn’t expect a completely re-programmed remake.

If so, it still takes: If AccNgt was right, it would take a long time anyway before an RDR remaster appears. Even the announcement should no longer be made in 2022. Accordingly, the launch will take place in 2023 at the earliest or even later – provided that it comes at all.

Which would you prefer: the next gen patch for RDR 2 or a remaster of the first part?
