After 13 years, Red Dead Redemption fans finally have reason to celebrate. The beloved game, originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010, is making its way to the PlayStation 4 and Switch platforms. This exciting news comes with the announcement that Double Eleven Studios will be handling the ports, complete with the inclusion of the popular Undead Nightmare expansion.
With the arrival of these long-awaited ports, fans who missed out on the thrilling Old West adventure the first time around will now have the opportunity to experience it on their current gaming consoles. And for players who have upgraded to the PlayStation 5, they can also enjoy the game thanks to the console’s backward compatibility feature.
While it remains uncertain whether the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions will offer any significant performance or graphical enhancements, what is known is that they will include additional language support for simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Latin American Spanish.
In Red Dead Redemption, players embark on a gripping journey as former outlaw John Marston, who sets out to bring his former gang members, the Van der Linde Gang, to justice and save his family. The game’s prequel, Red Dead Redemption II, captivated audiences in 2018 with its immersive storyline and stunning visuals.
The digital version of Red Dead Redemption will be available for purchase on both the PlayStation 4 and Switch starting August 17, priced at $49.99.
