In a major move for western-gaming fans, Red Dead Redemption is gearing up for a broad comeback. Rockstar Games has confirmed that the classic title will launch on December 2, 2025 (with mobile versions through Netflix Games via iOS and Android) and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. 

Broad Platform Reach

The release expands beyond just consoles. Subscribers to Netflix Games will be able to access Red Dead Redemption on mobile devices without additional cost. At the same time, console players will enjoy a native current-gen version rather than relying purely on backwards compatibility. 

Technical Upgrades

For PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the enhanced version aims to deliver 60 frames per second gameplay, HDR support, and resolution up to 4K. The Switch 2 version goes further by including support for DLSS, HDR, mouse controls and 60 fps at high resolution. 

Free Upgrades & Save Transfers

Good news for existing owners: if you already own the game on PS4, Xbox One (digital backward-compatible) or Switch (original), Rockstar is offering a free digital upgrade. PS4 players can carry over save data to PS5, and Switch 1 owners can transfer progress to the Switch 2 version. 

Why Now?

This announcement arrives amid still-high anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI and continuing delays on that title. By revisiting a beloved franchise, Rockstar keeps its audience engaged while transitional hardware cycles shift.
