First released in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time.

However, since the game was originally released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, many fans are hoping it will be released for the current generation of consoles, such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The wait may soon be over, as a recent reveal suggests that an official announcement of a next-gen remaster could be weeks away.

This information comes from Livid-Army-5857 on Reddit. He discovered an interesting new option on Rockstar‘s customer support website for Red Dead Online. The option, which has since been removed, allowed users to report an issue with a feature called Online Migration. What is this feature, and how does it suggest that a current-gen re-release of Red Dead Redemption 2 may be imminent?

The ‘Online Migration’ option is now visible on the Rockstar Support website for Red Dead Online.

It is designed to help players adjust their stats and progress when moving their data from one platform to another. In this case, it would be moving from the previous console generation to the current one (i.e., from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5). The now-removed option shows that Rockstar is aware of the potential flaw and may officially announce a Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster. Rumors of a possible remaster have been circulating online for months, and this new information has unsurprisingly fired up fans.

It’s just a matter of waiting, but it could be days or weeks until the official announcement of Red Dead Redemption 2 Remastered. In any case, it’s a bit sad that games released for previous console generations are still getting remasters. It’s getting tiresome. Too much time and money are being wasted on mAAAking AAA games with nearly exponentially increasing budgets and development times.
