Rockstar has been focusing on GTA a lot lately, with the recently remastered GTA Trilogy and of course, the next-gen port of GTA 5. However, it's looking like the company may now be pivoting back to the Red Dead Redemption series, with another pair of ports.
French journalist Chris Klippel, who happens to run the Rockstar Mag news site, has reported that since late 2020 they've known of Rockstar working on both a remake of the first Red Dead Redemption, and a next-gen port of RDR2. While such a collection briefly cropped up online in late 2020 before being shot down, the journalist says that these projects are still in the works.
Klippel also says that the next-gen version of Red Dead 2 was supposed to be announced much earlier, but once Rockstar decided to go ahead with a Red Dead Redemption remake, that pushed those plans back.
As usual, this is just a rumour at present, and Rockstar Games hasn't confirmed its work on either of these titles. However, the company is clearly willing to revisit old titles with new ports, as demonstrated by its recent work on bringing GTA to the new generation of consoles.
What would you want to see from a RDR remake? Let us know in the comments below!

More old stuff again.
Would just prefer a free 60fps patch and for them to concentrate on new games. Their release cadence is already glacial.
Let's hope they use unreal engine 5 for any remake
If they remade both using ure5 I would definitely pay for both again rdr1 and 2 especially rdr2 already the graphics on rdr2 beats hands down some of the next gen tripe that's out supposed to be enhanced games already and that was last gen
A full remake of RDR1 is unnecessary. It would be like remaking TLOU1... A remaster would be good enough.
The issue is that full remakes take the same resources as a brand new game. Remasters take a fraction of that, and produces a product that is both faithful and doesn't have the same potential for missing the mark (like RE3).
Looks like Bully 2 will never come out
@themightyant My thoughts exactly. But then they wouldn't be able to charge everyone for the same game again.
Man i would love a Red Dead Redemption remake, I never finished the first one and i dont want to go back to those 360 graphics, so this would be totally ideal..
Red dead 1 looks fantastic in 4k on series x but would still be up for a remake. 2 should just be a free ps5 upgrade but unlikely with RS
How about worry on making new games? Or fix red dead 2 online to stop the griefing. Just not enjoyable online because of that.
Have servers for the sweaties and have servers for people that just want to relax and enjoy the game.
All this content we have already payed for and played for the low price of $60.
Just the fact that he writes remake/remastered tells me that it’s a remastered. A remake is a huge undertaking but it would be awesome to see the first game with the same graphical quality as the sequel.
I love how Rockstar's Gen9 roadmap, is just their Gen7+Gen8 roadmap on replay.
You'd think they'd FIX the broken HDR, terrible controls, and dismal pop-in/performance of RDR2 for paying customers before selling the whole product again as new. But now, this is
EAerr...2K. Kinda makes me regret buying the game the first time around if true.The generation of remakes and remasters
“Rockstar has been focusing on GTA a lot lately” has to be the understatement of the DECADE!!! If they could tear themselves away from GTAV for 5 mins we would have had a 60fps by now for RDR2
@iplaygamesnstuff GTA5 remaster was $10 on PS5.
@GuyProsciutto $10 more than if I didn't buy a second time for a game I already paid for, played, and beat that offers me nothing but 5 minutes of nostalgia before never playing again.
I just want 8k 240hz gaming, beamed directly into my brain stem already.
Meh. If they GTA5 it....screw em.
I can't see a rdr2 remaster impressing over and beyond any bump to 60 fos. By all means flog us a rdr1 remake, but cmon Rockstar, just release a rdr2 patch yeah greedy swines!
@No1crazyhorse Absolutely agree. RDR2’s graphics for me surpass a tonne of ‘next gen’ games. Blows my mind every time I play it. I’ve got a series s so I don’t have the Xbox one x version and it still looks amazing.
@Agnostic I thought the same.
Would love for them to test out Unreal Engine 5 with a few remakes like Red Dead Redemption/Revolver, maybe GTA Liberty City/Vice City Stories.
Honestly, I actually like this era of remasters and remakes. I wish a lot of my old favourites get remastered, anything from the 360/PS3 era downwards. I see a lot of new games as a service, never anything special. Played GTA 3 Remastered recently and I am currently on GTA VC Remastered and I am having so much fun.
Would love to see classics get huge remakes:
Oblivion and Morrowind (never played Morrowind)
Dark Cloud
Hogs of War
GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories
True Crime series
Classic Yu-Gi-Oh games (loved Forbidden Memories)
Remake. Remaster. Reimagining. Reboot. Prequel. Sequel. DO SOMETHING NEW.
@Richnj The RDR1 One X enhancements are pretty good.
