Revisiting Red Dead Redemption on the Nintendo Switch 2 has been the perfect opportunity to reminisce on everything it does so well. Its open world is barren yet fascinating and rewarding to explore. It has a memorable central cast of rogues and freaks typical of a Rockstar game. John Marston is as captivating as ever, especially after playing the 2018 prequel. Red Dead holds up remarkably well even 15 years later, and remains a benchmark for Rockstar's ascension to the top of the industry.
Red Dead Redemption can be downloaded on Android and iOS devices via Netflix Games, the company said in a press release. It is available without any advertisements or in-app purchases for Netflix subscribers. The open-world action-adventure game is arriving with several free upgrades and enhancements not only on mobile, but on the current-generation consoles, too. As per the company, it will also bundle the Undead Nightmare DLC and bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition.
Rockstar Games launched the new version of Red Dead Redemption on modern consoles and mobile today, December 2, but the rollout did not go entirely smoothly on Xbox. People who already own Red Dead Redemption for Xbox 360 digitally were expecting the new edition for Xbox Series X|S to automatically show up as a free download, but quickly noticed this didn't happen. This is an issue that Rockstar is aware of and the studio is working with Microsoft to resolve it.
Ahead of Red Dead Redemption's Nintendo Switch 2 update next month, Amazon is offering a discount on the recently rereleased physical edition for Switch. Rockstar Games distributed a new budget-friendly $30 edition in September, and now you can grab a copy of Red Dead Redemption for $25 during Amazon's early Black Friday video game sale. Red Dead Redemption's physical edition for Switch includes the full game and Undead Nightmare expansion on the cartridge.
Another one of Rockstar's greatest hits is coming Netflix. On December 4th you'll be able to play Red Dead Redemption and it's zombified standalone DLC Undead Nightmare for free as long as you have a Netflix subscription. The news broke when prolific video game news hound Wario64 found listings for the game on the iOS and Android store. And it seems like Netflix isn't the only one that'll let you ride horses with John Marsten.
