Patch 1.03 for Red Dead Redemption has sneaked in a 60fps mode for those playing on PlayStation 5. When the game launched on PlayStation 4 in August many people questioned why the game was not running at 60fps and 4K.
Microsoft expected Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade to release last year
19.09.2023 - 10:55 / gamesradar.com / Phil Spencer / Red Dead Redemption / Xbox Series / Series X
A Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 and Xbox Series X version was discussed internally at Microsoft, potentially pointing to an incoming new-gen remaster.
In leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs FTC case (which also revealed the Xbox Series X refresh and Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters), Phil Spencer discussed the potential gap in the Xbox Game Pass schedule that would be caused by the delay of Starfield from 2022 to 2023. In response, the Microsoft team worked to determine what upcoming development projects could potentially be added to the service.
As well as games like Dying Light 2, Cities Skylines 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, that list features an entry for 'RDR2' from 'T2', clearly pointing to Red Dead Redemption 2 and publisher Take-Two Interactive. The entry goes on to suggest that Microsoft was hoping for "D&D for gen9." In simpler terms, that's a day and date Game Pass release for a new-gen Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 and Xbox Series X release.
Microsoft's list also reveals a handful of extra details about that potential port. Rockstar was expected to ask for more than $5 million a month, but Xbox imagined the game would bring 10 million monthly hours to Game Pass. It also noted that an updated release was "doubtful on PC," but it's not clear if that refers to an upgrade, or a specific Xbox Game Pass for PC release.
Unfortunately, Microsoft also suggested that a potential Red Dead Redemption PS5 and Xbox Series X version would release during Q2 of the 2023 financial year. Based on Microsoft's fiscal year, that meant an expected release some time between October-December 2022, but obviously that never materialized.
It's not clear what's become of the project. This is Microsoft's internal research, so it's unlikely that a new version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was never in the works at Rockstar or Take-Two. It's far more likely that the project has been delayed - possibly as a result of the negativity around the disappointing GTA Collection port, or the recent announcement of the original Red Dead Redemption's PS4 and Switch 'conversion'.
The project may also have been cancelled internally without ever seeing the light of day, but that also seems unlikely. While we wait for GTA 6, Rockstar is likely to want to make some extra money, and given the success of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the absence of an updated version, it certainly seems like a new-gen release would be a good idea. Many game projects are cancelled internally before we know anything about them, but I have to say I'd be surprised if that was the case here, especially given Microsoft's confidence in its existence.

Red Dead Redemption 1 Patch Adds 60 FPS Option on PS5
Those who were hoping for Red Dead Redemption to get a modern re-release certainly got their wish in the most monkey’s paw way possible, with a rather conventional port of the title (to say the least) being released for Nintendo Switch and PS4 in August. There wasn’t really much to speak of with the port where visual and technical improvements were concerned, though Rockstar has now added in a feature that many bemoaned the absence of.

Xbox Leak: Microsoft Is Planning Xbox Series X and Series S Refreshes in 2024, New Controller With Gyro
Microsoft is planning a mid-gen refresh for its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, eyeing a release in 2024. A series of leaked court documents from the Microsoft vs. US FTC trial revealed a roadmap and concept images for its upcoming set of gaming systems, which also includes a new controller with gyro and haptic feedback. Codenamed ‘Brooklin,' the all-digital Xbox Series X boasts the same horsepower as the existing version, albeit lacking a disc drive. The console is cylindrically shaped and comes with a generous 2TB storage — up from 1TB — which I'm guessing is an SSD. It'll bear the same price tag of $499/ Rs. 54,990 and is slated to drop in late October, next year.
