Well-known Rockstar leaker Tez2 claims that the Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 4 remasters for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have been put on pause.
The leaker added that these planned remasters have been shelved due to the poor reception of the GTA Trilogy’s Deluxe Edition and that resources had to be directed towards other projects.
Kotaku later supported these claims and reported that Rockstar shelved these remaster plans due to the publisher’s laser focus on GTA 6.
However, Kotaku also noted that Rockstar Games may revisit the remasters at a later date.
Rockstar never officially confirmed or denied the rumoured remakes, but it had been reported that the remasters were on the table at the beginning of the year.
Per Tez2, it doesn’t look like Rockstar Games wants to ship out a new enhanced version of #RedDeadRedemption2 for next-gen consoles anytime soon.
It’s an absolute crime to abandon this game over GTAV. pic.twitter.com/lZWsJTX8sq
