Rockstar Cancels Red Dead and GTA Remasters to Focus Solely on Developing GTA 6, Upsetting Fans of the Classics

Rockstar Games has reportedly canceled planned remasters of Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 4, and Red Dead Redemption to focus solely on developing GTA 6.
Fans are upset that the anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2 remaster for new-gen consoles at 60fps has been canceled.
Insiders say canceling other projects to focus on GTA 6 will help make it a "once-in-a-generation" game event.
However, fans think it's a "crime" to not allow experiencing Red Dead Redemption 2 with upgraded graphics.
While good for GTA fans, canceling the Red Dead and GTA 4 remasters is not well-received by all gamers who wanted to play the classics updated.
