If you’ve been following the big gaming news over the last few weeks, you may be aware that we appear to be closer to the end of the current console lifecycle than we’d have hoped.
Last week Sony confirmed thePlayStation 5 has entered the “latter half” of its life, meaning thePlayStation 6 is far closer than any of us would like. Not long after, Xbox started talking up its own next-gen hardware as if the Xbox Series X had said something racist at a dinner party and needed to bequietly escorted out.
Given what both Sony and Xbox are saying, it looks increasingly likely (though unconfirmed) that the next-generation consoles will launch around 2028,maybe2027. Given this, we can safely assume that a long-awaited sequel likeRed Dead Redemption 3is almost certainly not releasing onPlayStation 5andXbox Series X/S.

We already knowGTA VIcoming in 2025, potentiallyno later than March 2025. There have also been rumours that the GTA sequel is set to be this generation’s only Rockstar Game, which is looking increasingly likely given the time and resources it takes to make an open-world game. Especially one on the scale Rockstar Games likes to make.
We should stress thatRed Dead Redemption 3is, at this stage, little more than a consideration for Rockstar. And while a sequel is almost certainly inevitable, it looks clearer every day that we should not expect the western to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.
