Rockstar Games’ recently announced re-release of 2010’s Red Dead Redemption is officially available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2 for $49.99. It’s included with PlayStation Plus Extra/Deluxe and GTA+, but if you own it on PS4 or Switch 1, then it’s a free upgrade. This even supports the backwards-compatible Xbox One digital version.
So what can you expect with the third re-release of the classic thus far? You can check out our feature for more details, but long story short, it offers 4K and 60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, alongside improved image quality. The Switch 2 version includes 60 FPS and DLSS support with mouse controls, which is a nice bonus. All three editions support high dynamic range (HDR) for more realistic brightness.
Of course, cross-save is also supported on PlayStation and Switch, so you can continue wherever you left off on PS5 and Switch 2 (jury’s out on whether Xbox supports the same). If you’re a Netflix subscriber, then you can play the game for free on iOS and Android.
