While Rockstar Games has yet to confirm when fans can expect "Red Dead Redemption 2," it is rumored that the sequel may be released as a launch title for the PS4 Neo.

According to speculations, "Red Dead Redemption 2" may be announced together with the PlayStation 4 upgrade. Sony has yet to come out with specific release details on the PS4 Neo. This led fans to expect that the new console upgrade is coming out soon, possibly later this year. Some industry followers even believe that the PS4 Neo may be launched together with the PlayStation VR system, given that the PS4 Neo supports virtual reality content and 4K gaming.

Meanwhile, Rockstar Games has confirmed that it will be coming out with details on an exciting new project soon, and fans believe that it is the sequel to the original "Red Dead Redemption" game. The studio's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has confirmed its willingness to expand the game into a whole franchise similar to the "Grand Theft Auto" series, so a "Red Dead Redemption 2" is already expected. In addition, several supposed leaks about the sequel's development, from its story to characters, have already sprouted online.

This leads observers to surmise that since Rockstar Games will favor "Red Dead Redemption 2" as its next IP, the game will most likely be launched for the upgraded PS4 Neo rather than the original Sony console. This will be additional feature points for the game, since the sequel will also more likely to take advantage of the console's improvements, and a VR and 4K title support is highly possible.

However, should "Red Dead Redemption 2" be launched for the PS4 Neo, it can be expected that the sequel will also launch for the upgrade Microsoft console versions, the Xbox One S and the rumored Project Scorpio. The original "Red Dead Redemption" launched for the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
