PlayStation and Switch owners will also be able to continue using their current game saves on the new consoles.

Original Story continues below:

Rockstar’s iconic Western title, Red Dead Redemption, is now set for release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

A recent ESRB rating has been issued for Red Dead Redemption on modern gaming systems, where it has been rated M for Mature due to its content featuring blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, and drug use.

The rating also highlights the presence of “zombies,” indicating the likely inclusion of the popular Undead Nightmare expansion, so fans can look forward to that as well.

While Rockstar hasn’t officially confirmed this new version of Red Dead Redemption, it now has a year to do so, given the latest delay of Grand Theft Auto 6, now postponed to November 19, 2026.

Originally launched in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Red Dead Redemption is also officially available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. While you can play the PS4 version on PS5 and the Xbox 360 version on Xbox Series X/S, a native version for these modern consoles has not been released yet.

(Of course, there is also no modern console version of Red Dead Redemption 2 as of now, but that’s a topic for another time.)

Earlier this month, Rockstar faced criticism after dismissing over 30 employees it claimed had leaked confidential company information. In response, employees organized a protest outside Rockstar offices, and over 200 workers signed an open letter accusing the company of union busting. It is believed that all dismissed staff were members of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB), organized through an external Discord channel. Recently, the IWGB confirmed it had initiated a legal action against Rockstar, to which the company has not yet responded.
