A “leaked” Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer announcing the game will be ported to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles has surfaced, but it’s too good to be true.
Fans have eagerly awaited a next-gen port ofRed Dead Redemption2 ever since the PS5 and XBS were released, but Rockstar hasn’t announced any new version yet.

This could very well be a fan-made trailer as it is done extremely well. Do you think it is real or fake?pic.twitter.com/cjRiOR9zs8
The Red Dead Redemption 2 next-gen trailer just isn’t real
Rockstar hasn’t confirmed a RDR2 portis happening and there’s nothing to suggest the project is in the works with the company focusing on GTA VI.
Like many “leaked” trailers, it has a big concern that questions its legitimacy: the fact it was filmed on a TV.
The trailer was first posted to Reddit before spreading on social media. The poster claimed that they worked at Rockstar and were shown the RDR2 trailer, but the project had been abandoned to not interfere withGTA 6’s marketing.

While the teaser spread like wildfire, fans have questioned its legitimacy. “Red Dead Redemption 2 deserves a PS5 & XSX|S port, and I do think Rockstar will eventually release one, but this trailer leak is definitely fake,” one usersaid.
“This edit is so good that it makes people think it’s legit,” anotherchimed in.
While the trailer may be fake, there’s no reason why fans shouldn’t return to the world of Red Dead, even if it means playing on older consoles. RDR2 is one of the greatest games of all time, so much so that we ranked it second overall on ourtop 100 games list, losing out only to Elden Ring.
