GTA 4 & RDR2 May Get Current-Gen Upgrades But PC Gains Could Be Minor
▼ Summary
– Rockstar support pages hint at a current-gen re-release of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a last-gen re-release of GTA4.
– Evidence for RDR2’s re-release includes an “Online Migration” option on Rockstar’s support site, similar to GTA5’s current-gen update.
– A Rockstar support screenshot lists PS4 as a platform for GTA4, suggesting a possible re-release like Red Dead Redemption’s 2023 rollout.
– The re-releases lack excitement for PC players, as both GTA4 and RDR2 are already available at low prices on Steam.
– Expected upgrades for GTA4 and RDR2 are minimal, with RDR2’s PS5 version likely matching existing high-end PC performance.
Rockstar Games might be preparing current-gen upgrades for Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2, though PC players may see fewer benefits compared to console users. Recent discoveries on Rockstar’s support pages suggest potential re-releases, sparking speculation among fans.
A Reddit user spotted an “Online Migration” option for Red Dead Online on Rockstar’s support site, mirroring the feature introduced with GTA 5’s next-gen upgrade. This hints at a possible current-gen version of RDR2 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Meanwhile, another leak revealed GTA 4 listed with PlayStation 4 as a platform, a system it never officially launched on. This could signal a re-release similar to Red Dead Redemption 1, which arrived on PS4 and Switch before finally hitting PC.
While console players might welcome these updates, PC gamers could see minimal improvements. GTA 4 already runs on modern systems, and RDR2 already delivers high-end visuals on powerful rigs. Any enhancements for RDR2 on PS5 would likely match what top-tier PCs have offered for years.
Pricing remains a concern, especially after RDR1’s re-release debuted at $50 despite being a straightforward port. If history repeats, GTA 4 and RDR2 upgrades may follow a similar model, functional but lacking major overhauls. For now, both games remain affordable on PC, with GTA 4 priced at $20 and RDR2 frequently discounted.
Fans will have to wait for official confirmation, but these leaks suggest Rockstar isn’t done revisiting its classics, even if the upgrades lean more toward accessibility than groundbreaking improvements.
