As of now, it is being released on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The game is being digitally released right now and then on October 13, 2023, there will be a physical release. Both of the games will cost $49.99 on the PlayStation Store and the Nintendo eShop according to the announcement by RockStar Games.
As far as the PlayStation 5 players are concerned, they will be able to play it on their consoles by using backward compatibility.
Will Red Dead Redemption come to Xbox Series X/S?
The original Red Dead Redemption was released on Xbox 360 which through backward compatibility has also been shifted to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S since 2016.
There is however no official news on if the remastered version will be released on Xbox or not. Even if yes, then when will it be released is also another question that remains unsolved.
Red Dead Redemption since its release in 2010 has been a successful franchise. The developers released Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018 which was a bigger hit than the earlier game. The players with consoles might be pretty excited about this as they will get to play these games on their consoles finally.
Rockstar Games is known for many popular video games series including the blockbuster Grand Theft Auto. They are also working on the new installment i.e. GTA 6 which will also be released soon hopefully as the leaked videos show that the game is already in its alpha version.
As of now, the developers have added an option for players to add it to their wishlists in the official tweet.
