The game is already accessible on Xbox platforms, including Xbox Series X/S through backwards compatibility. The Switch and PS4 expansion opens up new avenues for players to immerse in the Old West setting. Notably, the title will also be playable on the PS5. Therefore, even the latest generation of console users can relive the Wild West adventure.
It's important to clarify that this release is not a full-scale remaster or remake. Rather, it is a port with some enhancements.
One of the notable updates is the inclusion of support for additional languages, catering to a more diverse player base. Moreover, PlayStation users can look forward to Trophy support, adding a new layer of achievement-driven gameplay to the experience.
However, it's worth mentioning that this re-release does not include online support, focusing instead on delivering the core single-player experience that made the original game so beloved.
Double Eleven Studios is working on the Red Dead Redemption version for Switch and PS4. The studio has previously worked on titles such as Fallout 76, Minecraft Dungeons, Crackdown 3, and Limbo.
Red Dead Redemption will cost $49.99, and will also include the Undead Nightmare DLC. A physical edition will launch on October 13.
