Red Dead Redemption 2 Update Rumors
While Rockstar Games is deep in development on Grand Theft Auto VI, a dedicated segment of its fanbase is holding out hope for another major project: a long-awaited next-generation update for the beloved Red Dead Redemption 2. Despite being one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, it still lacks a dedicated patch to unlock higher frame rates and resolution on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The demand for a 60fps update is palpable. Players have been asking for years, and rumors have periodically surfaced suggesting it’s in the works. Earlier this year, several industry insiders hinted that an update could arrive in the autumn of 2024, potentially alongside a port for the Nintendo Switch 2, aiming to fill the release schedule gap left by GTA VI’s delay.
Now that autumn is here, the community’s anticipation is building once again. Although the recent Nintendo Direct presentation passed without any announcement, fans note that Rockstar often prefers to make its own announcements independently via social media, leaving the door open for a surprise reveal.
The potential for a next-gen update has players excited about the prospect of revisiting the epic western with a new level of smoothness and visual fidelity. On forums like Reddit, fans are already planning their return. “I’m ready for another 1000 hours of gameplay,” exclaimed one user, while others expressed a desire for modern features like haptic feedback support on the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller.
For many, the upgrade is seen as essential to fully enjoying the game by today’s standards. One player commented, “Don’t mind HD, but need 60fps definitely 100% to fully enjoy this game,” highlighting how a smoother frame rate can significantly enhance the immersive experience of hunting, fishing, and exploring the vast open world.

While the existence of an update remains unconfirmed, the consistent fan demand makes a strong case for Rockstar to eventually release one. In the meantime, players have the recent “Strange Tales of the West” update for Red Dead Online to enjoy, with a second volume expected in the future. For now, the hope for a modernized Red Dead Redemption 2 experience continues to burn brightly.
