Red Dead Redemption 1 has been rated for PS5, Series X|S and Switch 2

Well over a decade on from its initial release on PS3 and Xbox 360, the much-loved Red Dead Redemption was finally ported to ‘modern’ systems in 2023. While a decent upgrade, the remaster was technically only released for the PS4/Pro and the OG switch (as well as PC), with Xbox users having to make do with an enhanced backwards compatible Xbox 360 version. In an unexpected move, it appears as though the original Red Dead Redemption is set to receive native current-gen and Switch 2 ports in the near future.

As discovered by ResetEra user –R, the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) published a listing for Red Dead Redemption coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.

While many fans would likely have preferred to get a current-gen version of its sequel RDR2, having a native PS5 and Series X|S version of the OG is still welcome.

That said, given the fact that Red Dead Redemption already runs at 4k60fps on the PS4 Pro version (as well as the backwards compatible Xbox 360 version on Series X), it will be interesting to see what specific enhancements are added with this impending release – perhaps DualSense support?
