Original reportA listing in the PlayStation Store is currently causing a stir. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is there with the addition “Updated for PlayStation 5“led, which the Rumors about a remaster It's been revived. The talk is of 4K support, high-resolution textures, and an improved frame rate, at least according to the description.
Nothing has been confirmed yet, but the store listing exists. This very contradiction makes the matter interesting and in need of explanation.
Technical improvements would be beneficial
The aforementioned upgrades may sound unspectacular at first, but they are technically not trivial. 4K output and more stable frame rates are possible. Kingdom Come: Deliverance A noticeable improvement, especially considering the notoriously inconsistent performance of the PS4 version. High-resolution textures suggest more than just a simple patch, but don't guarantee a full-fledged remaster.

A PS5 update of the original could attract newcomers who skipped the first installment. For veterans, however, the scope of the game is the deciding factor. A free performance update would be a clear plus, while an expensive "light remaster" would face some criticism.
As long as Warhorse Studios remains silent, caution is advised. The store listing is a strong indication, but nothing more.
