Rockstar Games has announced Red Dead Redemption is coming to more modern platforms next month.
Red Dead Redemption is finally coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and even Switch 2 and smartphones. Users that own the previous generation versions can upgrade for free and the smartphone versions will be playable for free with a Netflix subscription.
=Red Dead Redemption was released way back in May 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC release (via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Rockstar Store) came in October 2024.
Here’s a rundown on the new release:
Step into the events immediately following the blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2, in the critically acclaimed tale of John Marston’s journey to bury his blood-stained past. In its zombie-horror companion Undead Nightmare, fight to find a cure for the zombie plague that has overrun the frontier. All these new versions feature the complete single-player experiences of both games, and also include bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition.
Coming to Netflix and Mobile
More players than ever before will be able to experience these classics and take Marston’s journey with them wherever they go with Red Dead Redemption’s debut on compatible iOS and Android devices — which includes mobile-friendly control options. Netflix members will also be able to download and play these versions on December 2 as part of their subscription.
Updates and Enhancements for Current Consoles
Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can look forward to a smooth 60 frames per second experience, enhanced image quality, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K. On Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve taken full advantage of this new hardware with support for DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and the same fluid 60 frames per second gameplay at high resolution.
Free Upgrades on PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2
Current owners on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the digital backward compatible version on Xbox One will be able to upgrade digitally for free. Anyone who owns the PS4 version can utilize previous PS4 save data to pick up where they left off, and Switch 2 players can continue with their previous save data from the previous Nintendo Switch console.
These new console versions — created in collaboration with Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games — will also be available in the GTA+ Games Library and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on December 2.
