If you were disappointed by the release of Red Dead Redemption for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, there may still be some hope for the sequel. Despite the lack of any official announcements, insider NateTheHate claimed last year that an enhanced version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was still coming.
Though there was no release window at the time, he alleged in a new tweet that, “As far as I know, RDR2 is this year.” When asked if this rumor was different from last year, he responded, “Same info as last year. I don’t have any update to suggest it won’t be this year.”
Of course, as he mentioned before, release timings can (and often) change, and Rockstar pretty much does its own thing. The company has already delayed Grand Theft Auto 6 several times, but it’s seemingly on track for this year, with Summer marking the start of launch marketing. How that will affect Red Dead Redemption 2: Enhanced Edition really remains to be seen.
However, if it had to release at some point, one would think it’s sometime this Summer, even as late as September, to ensure it doesn’t conflict with Grand Theft Auto 6. As always, time will tell, so stay tuned for more updates.
Widely considered one of the greatest games ever made, Red Dead Redemption 2 is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It sold in over 82 million units as of December 31st, 2025.
