Rockstar Games has announced that Red Dead Redemption is coming to Android, iOS, PS5, Xbox and Netflix. The game is coming to these platforms on December 2, 2025.
The third-person shooter, which is set in the wild west, debuted on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2010, while the Undead Nightmare DLC was released in October 2010. Red Dead Redemption instantly became a fan-favorite title, but despite numerous requests from PC players, Rockstar seemed oddly uninterested.
The old Xbox 360 version was already playable on Xbox with backward compatibility, and an "enhanced update" that was released in 2018 added support for up to 4K resolution for the Xbox One X and 1440p for the Xbox One S. 13 years after the original release, in August 2023, Rockstar Games announced that it would release Red Dead Redemption for modern consoles. The game and its DLC was co-developed by Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games, and launched for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in October 2023, it was also playable on PS4 Pro and PS5 via backward compatibility. But aside from improved image quality, this version of the game didn't contain any enhancements whatsoever.
Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption for PC in October 2024 with native support for mouse and keyboard, 4K resolution, high refresh rates, ultrawide screens, HDR10, NVIDIA DLSS, DLSS Frame Gen, AMD FSR, etc.
Now, Rockstar has announced that a proper version for the PS5 and Xbox is coming. This version is also developed in collaboration with Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games. Red Dead Redemption on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will support 60 frames per second, enhanced image quality, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Red Dead Redemption will support DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and 60 frames per second at high resolution.
Red Dead Redemption will also be available on iOS and Android devices, and Netflix subscribers will be able to download the game on either mobile platform. Isn't it remarkable that a game that was once a bestseller on home consoles will be playable on your smartphone?
Rockstar has not announced the price of Red Dead Redemption for PS5, Xbox, Switch 2 etc., but given that the PS4 and Switch version was priced at $49.99, we can expect a similar price tag for the new version.
The company has confirmed that players who own the game on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the digital backward compatible version on Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the new version for free. It will also be available on GTA+ Games Library and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Rockstar says that players on PS4 and Switch will even be able to continue their saves from the old version of the game in the new one. Here's the video trailer of RDR.
Earlier this year, the company released an enhanced version of GTA V for PC, and made the update free for all existing owners.

Rockstar Games has delayed the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, the game which was scheduled to be released on May 26, 2026, will now be released on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
On a completely unrelated note, Ubisoft is giving away Immortals Fenyx Rising on Ubisoft Connect until December 2nd. Claim it for free, and it's yours to keep forever. It's very similar to Breath of the Wild, but a good game in its own right, with hilarious voice acting.
