Red Dead Redemption, the most popular production of Rockstar Games after the GTA series, is on the agenda again with a new announcement. According to the company’s statement, the first Red Dead Redemption, released in 2010, will now be playable on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
Nintendo Switch and PS4 good news for Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar Games gave the good news that Red Dead Redemption will expand to new consoles. Accordingly, the open world western game will now be playable for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The fact that it was not available for Windows was disappointing for some players.
Developed by Rockstar San Diego in 2010, the action-adventure game was first released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. However, the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions were prepared by UK-based studio Double Eleven.
The PS4 and Switch versions are aimed at bringing Red Dead Redemption to audiences who haven’t played the 2010 version. According to Rockstar’s statement, the new version will include the zombie-themed DLC pack Undead Nightmare, alongside the original game.
However, Rockstar doesn’t seem to have made major revisions to the new productions. It’s described as “new transformations” rather than major remasters or remakes. So if you’ve played RDR on PS3 or Xbox 360, we recommend that you don’t expect too much of a novelty.
On the other hand, it is noteworthy that Windows and Xbox One are not included in the new versions. It should be noted that the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions will be available from August 17.
