Fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 have patiently been hoping for the announcement of a successor. Throughout the years, there have also been a multitude of rumors about a next-gen updates as well, these rumors flaring up once more with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. While neither has materialized thus far, fans are finding new hope elsewhere.
Red Dead Redemption 2: Is the Big Graphics Update Finally Coming?
While fans are likely grasping at straws, since nothing official has been announced or revealed. What has changed though, is that for the first time since 2019, Rockstar Games has made changes to the Red Dead Redemption 2 Steam page, and that almost out of nowhere, as Insider Gaming reported.
Instead of highlighting the countless Game of the Year awards, the revision now briefly outlines the premise. The current text on the page reads, “Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde Gang are outlaws on the run. With federal agents and bounty hunters massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal, and fight their way across the rugged heartland in order to survive.” These changes were implemented on October 3, 2025.
This new development isn’t very spectacular, and fans have already thought up two different scenarios behind this change. Either Rockstar simply wanted to inject a bit of fresh air, or the product page is being renovated to make way for an upcoming Enhanced Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Between Hope and Skepticism
The rumor mill about a potential expanded or enhanced version is still buzzing with activity. Meanwhile, the open-world adventure is nearing its seventh anniversary, having debuted on October 26, 2018, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It would all fit far too perfectly together, with it being the perfect time to announce, or even directly release a corresponding update or re-release around that day. However, it’s important to note that nothing has been confirmed yet. Accordingly, fans are experiencing both hope (“A 60FPS patch for console would make me immediately reinstall this”), and skepticism (“This has been claimed dozens of times before. […] Just not falling for it again”).
So, for now, all we can do is wait for any information regarding Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar Games. Though, the company is probably busy trying to outline the perfect release plan for Grand Theft Auto right now, how much time would they have for RDR 2?
