Red Dead Redemptionis one of the most popular games from Rockstar Games' back catalogue, and that’s saying something from the GTA developer.
WhenRed Dead Redemptionwas originally released forPlayStation3 andXbox360 back in 2010, it quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time.RDRscores as high as 95on Metacritic, cementing its legacy.

Recently, rumours were making the rounds thatRed Dead Redemptionwas to benefit from a remake or at the very least, a remaster in the hope of introducing it to modern audiences, as well as offering a new and improved version of the game to veteran fans.

Sadly however, when Rockstar Gamesannounced the new release ofRed Dead Redemption, we learned that it would be neither a remake nor remaster, it is in fact a port for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Albeit, in a 4K resolution on PlayStation and now playable on the go thanks to Nintendo’s hybrid console. It will also come bundled with theUndead Nightmareexpansion.
What’s more, this port wasn’t announced for Xbox, becauseRDRis already playable on the console thanks to backwards compatibility in 4K. Furthermore, unlike the recent PlayStation andNintendo Switchports, the backwards-compatible Xbox version still has multiplayer and as I found out the other day, it still has an active online community.
As you can imagine, this seemingly basic port didn’t go down well with the video game fanbase, especially withits launch RRP of £40/$50. A price at which Take-Two Interactive CEO believes is ‘commercially accurate’.
