Rockstar Games could be working on a new version of *Red Dead Redemption* specifically for PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Currently, PS5 owners can only play the game by using the backward compatibility feature with the PS4 version. But recent clues hint that a proper PS5 version might be in the works, and it could also be coming to the Switch.
This information comes from a Rockstar Games developer’s LinkedIn profile, where both PS5 and Switch versions of the game were mentioned. While this isn’t an official confirmation, it has caught people’s attention. If a developer’s resume is mentioning these platforms, it suggests that something could be happening behind the scenes. Still, it’s important to stay cautious since Rockstar hasn’t officially announced anything yet.
One possibility to keep in mind is that the mention of a PS5 version might have been a mistake, and the developer could’ve meant PS4 instead. The game already came out on Switch and PS4 last year, and it’s also heading to PC soon, so it’s possible that the developer was referring to those versions. But if not, then we might actually see a PS5 edition soon.
The idea of a PS5 version becomes even more exciting with the upcoming release of the PS5 Pro. This new hardware would let the game make full use of better graphics and more power, giving players a big visual upgrade.
A big question is whether Rockstar will offer a free update for people who already own the PS4 version or if players will need to buy the game again. A free upgrade would be the ideal option since many players have already paid for the game once.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement from Rockstar Games. But if these rumors turn out to be true, it could be great news for both PS5 and Nintendo Switch players. In the meantime, *Red Dead Redemption* is set to release on PC on October 29, 2024.
