16th October of this year signified the eighth anniversary of the 2016 Red Dead Redemption 2 teaser released by Rockstar Games. Together with the enduringly well-liked Grand Theft Auto 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 would go on to become one of Rockstar Games' most cherished titles of all time.

Red Dead Redemption 2, a prequel to 2010's Red Dead Redemption, was released in October 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Red Dead Redemption 2, which takes place in 1899, allows players to experience the Wild West as Arthur Morgan, a member of the infamous Van der Linde gang, as the 20th century draws near. In November 2019, Rockstar Games published Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam, with 4K support, improved frame rates, and HDR, a year after the game's console launch. Red Dead Redemption 2's large open world and high performance settings make it a suitable gaming benchmark for PC hardware even today.

Eight years have passed since Rockstar Games revealed crimson Dead Redemption 2 with a screenshot of their logo set against a vivid crimson background, evoking the key art from the original game. At the time, many fans knew that a new Red Dead Redemption game was on the coming, with some having opinions about what the game could involve. Red Dead Redemption 2 was revealed by Rockstar Games on 18th October, 2016, just two days later, thrilling fans who were eager to revisit the Western setting of the Red Dead Redemption franchise.

Coincidentally, 29th October, the anniversary month of Red Dead Redemption 2, marks the PC release of the first Red Dead Redemption game. Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC does not natively support Nvidia DLSS 3.7 or AMD FSR 3.0 with frame generation; these capabilities will be included in the next PC port. Not to mention, Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 may be played using backward compatibility even though they don't have native versions on the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. Still, Red Dead Redemption and Rockstar fans are in for an exciting time.

Though it looks like a potential Red Dead Redemption 3 might be years away from release, interest in the Red Dead Redemption series seems to be very high heading into the upcoming PC release. The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for 2025, and it is presently under production. Grand Theft Auto 6 may debut in the fall of 2025, according to rumors, but gamers should hold off on buying the game until Rockstar Games is ready to announce formal details.
