For months, rumors have persisted that aGrand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogywas in the works, bringing the PS2-eraGTAgames to modern platforms. Now those rumors have been backed up by a report that claims that not only does the collection exist, but that theGrand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogyrelease dateis merely a matter of months. That same report touches on possible remasters for Rockstar’s other games, and there’s some good news forRed Dead Redemptionfans.
According to Kotaku’s report, Rockstar Games has plans to remaster some of its other classic titles. There are a variety of older Rockstar Games titles that would be strong candidates for remasters, though it seems safe to say that one game fans would like to see in particular is the originalRed Dead Redemption, especially in light ofRed Dead Redemption 2’s incredible sales success. As it turns out, Kotaku has heard thatRed Dead Redemptionis indeed one of the potential remasters that is being discussed.

However, there is a catch. Whether or not any other older Rockstar Games titles get the remaster treatment will depend on the sales of theGrand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy. The collection will be releasing during the fall gaming rush and will have some seriously stiff competition, including from theGrand Theft Auto 5PS5/Xbox Series X port, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
The reaction to theGrand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogynews has been widely positive so far, as it seems many fans are excited about the idea of returning to classic Liberty City,Vice City, and San Andreas. This excitement and the collection including three games in total could be enough to drive sales and fuel remasters of future Rockstar Games titles like the originalRed Dead Redemption, but fans will just have to wait and see on that front.
Something else that could potentially drive sales for theGrand Theft Auto Remastered TrilogyisGrand Theft Auto 6. According to reports, theGrand Theft Auto 6release dateis believed to be years away, so it stands to reason thatGTAfans may want to pass the time by revisiting the classics.
There are many who have only playedRed Dead Redemption 2and have never tried the original game, which is a shame as it shows what happens next in the story. ARed Dead Redemptionremastercould help all of the newRed Deadfans see how the full story plays out, so hopefully theGrand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogysells well.
Red Dead Redemptionis out now for PS3 and Xbox 360.
