Rockstar Games details backward compatibility for its titles on next-gen consoles

Video game publisher Rockstar Games has announced information regarding backwards compatibility for its games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The news comes many months after the publisher last confirmed one of its most popular titles, Grand Theft Auto V, for the next-gen back in June.

The American gaming company has confirmed that in addition to GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be joining the next-gen roster. PS5 and Xbox Series X owners who have the current-gen physical discs of these games will be able to insert them in the newer consoles. Those who own digital copies of the titles will also be able to download them on next-gen consoles.
