Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated By ESRB For PS5 And Switch 2, Suggesting A Remaster Is On Its Way – WGB

Earlier than you get overly excited, I need you fastidiously word that we’re speaking about Red Dead Redemption and never Red Dead Redemption 2. Sadly, there’s nonetheless no phrase of RDR2 coming to fashionable consoles, regardless of the neverending rumours.

However that brings us to Purple Lifeless Redemption. A new ESRB rating for the game has popped up that lists both PS5 and the Switch 2.

This could be barely complicated at first look, as a result of just a few years in the past there was an precise Purple Lifeless Redemption port launched for PS4 and the Swap, which precipitated a little bit of a stir as a result of it was priced at $50 regardless of not being a remaster or providing a lot of something new. It was technically higher than the unique sport, however not sufficient to justify the price to many individuals.

Some time later, Rockstar quietly up to date the PS4 model to incorporate a 60FPS toggle for PS5 customers. The truth that this was not included from the very begin was baffling.

So what the hell is that this new model that has popped up? Nicely, it may merely be native PS5 and Swap 2 variations of the prevailing ports. However I believe it could be just a little greater than that….

First, this new model particularly lists an Xbox Sequence model. That is vital as a result of the port from just a few years in the past didn’t get an Xbox launch as a result of the unique Xbox 360 model remains to be available on the Xbox retailer.

My considering is that this may really be a real remaster of some type. Realizing Rockstar it in all probability gained’t be an enormous improve, but it surely may need some improved textures, 60fps as commonplace and many others.

Presumably this could be provided as -dare I say it – a free improve to current house owners? And a standalone launch in any other case that basically replaces the earlier port and the Xbox 360 model that’s nonetheless on the market. That will, I imagine, be sufficient to warrant the ESRB having to fee it over again.

Then once more, that is Rockstar and Take-Two, so who actually is aware of.
