Earlier today, iOS and Android listings for a Red Dead Redemption mobile port were spotted on app stores, with word that the game would be available as a Netflix game next month, meaning you need a Netflix membership to play. Now, Rockstar Games has cleared the airwaves to announce that Red Dead Redemption is actually coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, mobile iOS and Android devices, and as a mobile game via Netflix.
It’s coming to all of these platforms on December 2.
On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Red Dead Redemption will run at 60 FPS with enhanced image quality, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K. On Switch 2, the game will support 60 FPS gameplay at “high resolution” and DLSS, HDR, and mouse controls.
Current owners of the PS4, Switch, or digital backward compatible version of Red Dead Redemption on Xbox One can upgrade digitally for free, Rockstar says, and on PlayStation and Switch, you can pick right back up on your in-progress save. Rockstar says these new console versions were created in collaboration with Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games, and that Red Dead Redemption will be available in the GTA+ Games Library and the PlayStation Plus Catalog on December 2.

Original story, 11/13/25, 11:45 a.m. ET
Despite a recent ESRB rating for Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch, the Rockstar Games-developed Western’s next platform for play will be Netflix. That’s according to new iOS and Android store listings that display Red Dead Redemption at Netflix games available starting next month, on December 4.
Because it’s a mobile port of Red Dead Redemption available to play on Netflix, you will need a Netflix membership to try it out. The base game will be available in this mobile port as will its zombie apocalypse DLC, Undead Nightmare.
“When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is forced to hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends,” the app store’s description reads. “Experience Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico as he fights to bury his blood-stained past in the critically acclaimed predecessor to the 2018 blockbuster, Red Dead Redemption 2.”
Though the game is a mobile port, it actually looks pretty decent, probably the result of the original game launching back in 2010.
It’s currently available on those launch platforms – PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – and you can also play it on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S (via backwards compatibility), Switch, and PC. Following a recent ESRB rating for the game on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, spotted by Wario64 on Bluesky, fans expected an announcement for those platforms soon. However, it seems Netflix is next up as the new place to play Red Dead Redemption.
Red Dead Redemption is coming to iOS and Android on December 4.
