One of the most common complaints directed at Rockstar Games has to be the lack of aRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen update.Red Dead Redemption 2has to be one ofthe best open-world titles of all time, with its amazing story, gameplay, and phenomenally designed map. It’s incredibly odd that there isn’t a native PS5 or Xbox Series X|S version, but things are looking up.
WithGrand Theft Auto 6getting delayed to 2026, there are rumors about a next-gen update arriving later this year. This would be awesome if it happened, but achievement/trophy hunters might speak in a different tone. Based onGrand Theft Auto 5’snext-gen upgrade, it’s in their best interest for achievement/trophy hunters toget a full 100% completion as soon as possiblebefore transferring everything over toRed Dead Redemption 2’snext-gen version.
Rockstar May Finally Give The Fans What They’ve Been Waiting For
SinceGrand Theft Auto 6got delayed until next year, what will Rockstar bring out in 2025, and will it beRed Dead Redemption 2related? There are rumors about aGrand Theft Auto 4remaster and aRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen version. According toGameReactor, Rockstar not only plans to release aRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X|Slater this year but also, around the same time, release the game on Nintendo Switch 2.
It’s unknown if the new features will arrive on PC simultaneously. Based onGTA 5,it’s not likely.Red Dead Redemption 2’snext-gen update is still a rumor, but it makes sense for Rockstar to do this, asGTA 6’sMay release next year is still a long way off. This next-gen update would be a nice way to hold people over untilGTA 6, give fans what they’ve wanted for so long, and likely result in many jumping back into this open-world masterpiece. However, achievement/trophy hunters need to take action.
Achievement Hunters Must Get 100% Before Upgrading
A Ticket To Two Platinum Trophies
It’s fair to assume that theRed Dead Redemption 2next-gen transfer process will be similar toGrand Theft Auto 5. HowGTA 5worked is that you had to manually upload your story mode game save in the last-gen version to transfer over to the next-gen. Thankfully, migrating yourGTA Onlinecharacter was much easier and didn’t require jumping back into the old version. Once everything’s transferred, you should getall your earned achievements/trophiesupon entering the game.
Maximizing efficiency is critically important for achievement hunters.
Keep in mind that you can not transfer back to last-gen. What hardcore achievement/trophy hunters will do iswait off on the next-gen version until they get full 100% completion. This is no easy task, as the Doomsday HeistCriminal Mastermind achievement has to be one of the hardest of all time. Once you get all achievements/trophies, you’ll get a free 1750 gamerscore or platinum upon upgrading. The same will likely occur withRed Dead Redemption 2.
If you still haven’t 100% completed the main story or have gotten all the online achievements, now’s the time to do them. Even if completing all the challenges orfinding that Western Bull Moosetakes you too long, it’s worth it not to immediately upgrade so thatyou can get the next-gen 100% right off the bat.
Maximizing efficiently is critically important for achievement hunters, and there’s a reason why the average completion time for next-genGTA 5is only 0 to 2 hours, according toTrueAchievements. Most get 100% completion upon upgrading, and you should do the same withRed Dead Redemption 2.
