GTA 4 and Red Dead 2 website updates have fans thinking new ports are coming

Rockstar Games’ website currently lists GTA 4 for a console it’s not currently playable on, as next gen Red Dead Redemption rumours return.

Since Rockstar has delayed GTA 6 until May 2026, it would make sense for the studio to have something else ready, to keep fans occupied until then.

While no other Rockstar games have been officially announced, past rumours have pointed to re-releases for Red Dead Redemption 2 and, most significantly, GTA 4.

The latter has been rumoured to be coming later this year and in lieu of any formal reveal, it’s suspected Rockstar has accidentally hinted at both projects on its website.

The purported evidence for these ports comes from Rockstar’s support page. Here, you can select whichever game you’re having issues with and then navigate the different tabs to narrow down the problem.

Yesterday, someone noticed the Red Dead Redemption 2’s support page suddenly featured a new tab related to online migration, and they shared their discovery in the Red Dead Redemption subreddit.

This is obviously in reference to the Red Dead Online multiplayer mode, except the game has never allowed you to migrate your character and progress from one platform to another before.

The website has since been updated to remove any mention of online migration, but the fact it was there at all suggests Rockstar intends to incorporate it in the near future.

Considering Red Dead Redemption 2 is nearly seven years old, it’d be a bit random to now introduce online migration between the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions.

It’s more likely this is further evidence of the game receiving a current gen patch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and possibly a port to the Nintendo Switch 2.

As for GTA 4, a similar situation has occurred there, where its support page now lists the PlayStation 4 among the game’s support platforms. Unlike the Red Dead Redemption 2 example, this tab hasn’t been removed, at least at time of writing.

For the record, GTA 4 isn’t playable on PlayStation 4 in any shape or form. The game only ever launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and is currently only available through Steam as well as the Xbox Series X’sbackwards compatibility feature.

The PlayStation 4, however, isn’t backwards compatible with PlayStation 3 games and GTA 4 isn’t included in the retro games catalogue for PlayStation Plus.

As such, this lends credence to the idea that GTA 4 is getting a PlayStation 4 re-release soon and somebody at Rockstar has jumped the gun by updating the game’s support page.

It’s worth noting that Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive doesn’t have any new games scheduled for the final quarter of 2025. Mafia: The Old Country is coming out on August 8, with NBA 2K26 and Borderlands 4 launching in September.

We can’t imagine the company would be fine having no further releases, especially around Christmas time, so perhaps Take-Two will pad out the rest of 2025 with these Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 4 upgrades/ports.

Rockstar is also financing remakes of the first two Max Payne games, which are in the works at Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy, but the lack of any real info suggests they’re unlikely to drop this year.

It’s honestly surprising Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t already seen a PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade (Rockstar)
