“Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare are coming to Netflix, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2,” the post reads. “Experience these epic adventures in the West with free upgrades, transferable in-game progress, and more.”
Mobile versions of the game will feature “mobile-friendly control options,” and the Netflix version will be made available to existing subscribers upon launch on December 2. PS5 and Xbox Series players will get the game at 60 frames per second with better image quality, HDR support and resolution up to 4K. Nintendo Switch 2 supports DLSS, HDR, mouse control and 60 frames per second.
Additionally, if you already own Red Dead Redemption on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the digital, backward-compatible version on Xbox One, you’ll be able to digitally upgrade to this recent, improved version for free, and PlayStation and Switch users will be able to continue their existing saves on the newer console.
Original story continues below:
Rockstar’s cowboy classic, Red Dead Redemption, is ready to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
New ESRB rate appeared in Red Dead Redemption on contemporary consoles (where it will be rated M for blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, mighty language, mighty sexual content, and drug utilize).
The ranking also mentions “zombie,” likely a reference to the beloved Undead Nightmare expansion, so fans should probably expect that.
Rockstar has yet to officially announce a recent version of Red Dead Redemption, but it is now 12 months after the last delay of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
Originally released in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Red Dead Redemption is now officially available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC. Of course, the PS4 version can be played on PS5 (and the Xbox 360 version on Xbox Series X/S), but there is no native version for contemporary consoles yet.
(Of course, there is no contemporary console version of Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, but one thing at a time.)
Earlier this month, Rockstar was criticized by fans and employees alike after it fired more than 30 employees, alleging that it had leaked confidential company data. In response, employees staged a physical protest outside Rockstar’s offices, and over 200 employees signed an open letter claiming that the job losses were an attempt to bust unions.
The dismissed workers are all believed to have been members of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) trade union, organized via an external Discord channel. This week, IWGB confirmed that it has filed a lawsuit against Rockstar, which the company has yet to respond to.
