Rockstar Games loves to keep everyone guessing, and their latest surprise announcement in mid-August is no exception! It turns out that Red Dead Redemption, originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360 way back in May 2010, is finally making its way to Nintendo Switch and PS4. Plus, thanks to backward compatibility, you can play it on PS5 too—talk about a nostalgic treat! This isn’t a remake or even a remaster; it’s the original game, intact and unchanged after 13 long years. Rockstar Games has handed over the reins of this port project to studio Double Eleven while they focus on wrapping up GTA 6. And the best part? The package includes not just the original Red Dead Redemption but also its spooky expansion, Undead Nightmare, where zombies take over the Wild West. Happy gaming!
Based on some exciting details floating around the internet (though they haven’t been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games yet), here’s what we can look forward to with the Switch and PS4 versions of Red Dead Redemption:*
– On the Nintendo Switch, players can enjoy Red Dead Redemption at a crisp 720p resolution in handheld mode and bump it up to a stunning 1080p when docked. For PS4 users, the game runs beautifully at 1080p with a smooth 30fps frame rate. If you’re rocking a PS4 Pro, get ready for an even sharper experience with native 4K visuals. And if you’re among those lucky enough to have a PS5, enjoy Red Dead Redemption via backward compatibility in stunning 4K resolution at 30fps!
Get ready for an exciting adventure! Red Dead Redemption and its spine-tingling expansion, Undead Nightmare, are coming together as a bundle priced at just $49.99. You can grab it digitally from the Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Store, or pre-order your very own physical copy to get your hands on both games come October 13th! So mark your calendars and prepare for some thrilling gameplay.
