Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Release Date Could Be Soon Than What Was Anticipated, Hints Voice Actor

It looks like Rockstar Games could be announcing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PS5 next week, or so people are saying. A livestream by Rob Wiethoff, who voiced John Marston, hinted at something exciting arriving, “not tomorrow, but probably before Friday.” That statement now got everyone talking if it’s about a new-gen version of the game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Release Date Rumors Are Spreading Fast

A known leaker Nate The Hate, who talked on his podcast recently, said RDR2 is getting a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and maybe even a Nintendo Switch 2 version. According to him, this new version might be released late summer or fall of 2025. He already made right guesses in the past about Switch 2 and other stuff, so that makes his words a bit more believable.

Right now, Red Dead Redemption 2 works on PS5 only through backward compatibility, which is not perfect. It's locked on 30 FPS and the resolution is like, not native 4K but some sort of upscaled. So if Rockstar launches an actual PS5 version, it could give fans 60 FPS, faster loading, and sharper graphics. This is what people have been asking for a long time now, and it would make replaying the game feel new again.

 

Two Announcements Maybe?

It wouldn’t be too shocking if Rockstar goes and reveals both a PS5 upgrade and Switch 2 port together. The timing lines up, and Wiethoff’s cryptic tease gives even more reason to think that. Maybe a Nintendo Direct would show that version, while Sony drops its update separately. But all that’s still a maybe, unless something gets confirmed soon.

What Could Happen Next

If what Wiethoff said is pointing to Red Dead Redemption 2 next-gen version, then we might see an announcement anytime this week, and a release in a few months. Late August or September seems possible if they follow their usual pattern.

With all the clues, hints, and leaks backing this up, it’s probably safe to say Rockstar is preparing something. It might be a PS5 upgrade, a Switch 2 version, or both. Either way, fans better keep watch this week, something big may just be around the corner.
