News Red Dead Redemption PS5 Another Subpar Re-Release from Rockstar
Not another one
For all the money it earns through GTA Online, you'd think Rockstar would put at least a little bit more effort into the re-releases of its past games. Apparently not, though, as the new PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption is probably about as barebones as you can get. Just like the older PS4 re-release from a few years ago, you get...

News Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
Free upgrade for PS4 owners
All the rumours and speculation over the past 12 months have pointed towards Red Dead Redemption 2 finally getting a native PS5 upgrade, but what if it's actually the first game receiving the treatment?

News Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now the Fourth Best Selling Game Ever, Still Chained to PS4 at 30FPS
Rather be red
Red Dead Redemption 2 has just claimed the fourth spot on the list of all-time best selling video games.

Random Last Week's GTA 6 Delay Made It All the Way to the Polish Government
Called a "huge scandal" by one MP
Updates surrounding the Grand Theft Auto series are one of the very few examples of video game news that can break into the mainstream, and last week's six-month delay to GTA 6 was no different. It was so impactful, in fact, that one Polish MP felt it was noteworthy enough to bring up in parliament. On the day of...

News Red Dead Redemption 2 'Probably' Wouldn't Have Happened without GTA 5 DLC Cancellation
There's a silver lining
A world without Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't one we'd want to live in, so there is at least one benefit to the cancellation of the single player DLC that Rockstar had in the works for GTA 5: it let the developer make the western open worlder. As part of a wider interview with Lex Fridman on YouTube, the studio's co-founder...
Satirising America is the key
Those old enough will remember an early off-shoot of the original Grand Theft Auto that took the series outside of the USA for the first and only time. GTA: London 1969 was essentially an expansion pack for the first game, allowing players to take on some missions in the the UK capital. Many fans have wondered whether...

News Why Did We Never Get Bully 2? Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser Explains
Bully for you
Rockstar Games has several beloved IPs under its belt.

In the Niko time
If you’re a PlayStation fan, then GTA 4 has become one of Rockstar’s long-lost releases.

News Red Dead Online Springs Back to Life as PS5 Port Hopes Increase
New missions arrive after three years
Rockstar pretty much pulled the plug on Red Dead Online in 2022, prompting fans to hold an in-game funeral for the multiplayer mode.

News Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again
Alongside a Switch 2 version, apparently
One of the most unexplainable things of the PS5 generation so far is how Red Dead Redemption 2 has never been given a current-gen patch. It's perfectly playable on PS5 in backwards compatibility, but you're locked to 30 frames-per-second and an inferior resolution compared to what's available on Xbox Series...

So, GTA 6. Delayed into May 2026, and then breaking the internet with its second trailer. Rockstar never disappoints!
