Summary
Rockstar Games has released a brand-new update for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch version ofRed Dead Redemptionthat was released last year. Fans have been asking for aRed Dead Redemptionremake or remaster for years. Instead, they got a port of the game that made it playable on the Nintendo Switch and PS4.
Many fans were upset when they realized that Rockstar wasn’t going to release aRed Dead Redemptionremakeand was instead going the re-release route, but others were happy that they could finally revisit the game on modern PlayStation consoles. Since PS5 is backward compatible with PS4, the PS4 version ofRed Dead Redemptionmeant the game was available to those gaming on Sony’s newest hardware as well. In any case, there is now a new update to download for the PS4 and Switch version ofRed Dead Redemption, for those interested.
The newRed Dead Redemptionupdate is available to download right now forPS4 and Switch gamers. The update doesn’t do all that much; it adds a Terms of Service screen to the game and makes vague improvements to its “stability,” but the patch notes stop short of providing more specifics on that front. Fans shouldn’t expect any substantialRed Dead Redemptionupdates that add new content to the open world western, so most of the game’s updates will likely be similar to this one.
It’s more likely thatRed Dead Redemption 2will get substantial updates, though Rockstar has largely moved on from that game, so fans shouldn’t hold their breath. While Rockstar occasionally releases newRed Dead Onlinecontent, it hasn’t given any indication that it’s going to release a big new expansion on the level of theUndead NightmareDLCthat was released for the firstRed Dead Redemptionback in the day.
Right now, Rockstar Games is focused onGrand Theft Auto 6development, which has reportedly ramped up considerably and is in its final stretches. The latest reports indicate that Rockstar is hoping to releaseGrand Theft Auto 6in early 2025, and if that’s true, more information on the game should come to light sooner rather than later. It’s possible Rockstar will revisit theRed Deadfranchise at some point down the line, but it seems like its main focus will beGTAfor the foreseeable future.
