Rockstar has officially announced that Red Dead Redemption is getting a new version built for current-generation hardware, alongside a surprising mobile release. The announcement came through the developer’s official social media channels.
The First Red Dead Redemption Returns
Red Dead Redemption, including the Undead Nightmare expansion, arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2, 2025. The game will also launch on iOS and Android, making it one of Rockstar’s most significant titles to reach mobile devices.
Players who previously purchased the game on PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch will receive the new upgrade for free.
The current-gen version runs at 4K resolution and 60 FPS with HDR support and enhanced visuals on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. On Switch 2, the game supports DLSS, HDR, and the Joy-Con 2 feature set, while maintaining a 60 FPS target.
These improvements come as part of a free update for all existing owners, with additional perks available to subscribers on partnered services.
Available Through PlayStation Plus and GTA+
Players subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra can access the updated version immediately upon its release on December 2, 2025, as it will be added directly to the service’s library. GTA+ subscribers will also gain access to the game once it becomes part of the membership offering.
Mobile Release and Netflix Integration
Red Dead Redemption will be available to download via Google Play and the App Store. However, the biggest surprise is its inclusion in Netflix’s gaming catalog, allowing subscribers to play the game at no extra cost through the Netflix app.
No Current-Gen Version of Red Dead Redemption 2 Yet
While fans are celebrating the return of Red Dead Redemption with its enhanced release, uncertainty remains around a current-gen edition of Red Dead Redemption 2. Players have been requesting it for years, but Rockstar has not made any official announcement.
Fans hope the game will be next on the roadmap once work on Grand Theft Auto VI wraps up, especially as the studio continues addressing criticism about its internal work culture.
