Rockstar’s 2010 game Red Dead Redemption is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, along with iOS and Android, the developer has confirmed following initial listings and reports.
“Experience these epic Western adventures on the latest mobile devices and current generation consoles–with free upgrades, the ability to carry over game progress, and a number of enhancements,” Rockstar said.
The new versions launch on December 2, and the iOS and Android editions are coming via Netflix Games. The game will also include the popular Undead Nightmare mode featuring zombies.
Updates and enhancements
Rockstar is promising a “smooth 60 frames per second experience” on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, along with “enhanced image quality, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K.” For Switch 2, Rockstar said it has “taken full advantage of” the console’s power to support DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and “the same fluid 60 frames per second gameplay at high resolution.”
Free upgrades
People who already own Red Dead Redemption on PS4, Switch, or on Xbox One via backwards compatibility can get a free digital upgrade for the new version. “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,” Rockstar said.
Who developed the new versions?
Developers Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games developed the new versions of Red Dead Redemption, “in collaboration” with Rockstar Games.
