However, this changes with Rockstar\u2019s announcement that the game will be coming natively to <b>PlayStation 5<\/b>, <b>Xbox Series X|S<\/b> and <b>Nintendo Switch 2<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">In addition, a mobile port has also been announced <b>exclusively for Netflix subscribers<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Touching on the improved console editions first, although backwards compatibility has allowed RDR to run pretty well on current-gen consoles, the downside has been graphical inconsistency across platforms. For instance, the PS4 edition of RDR can run at 4K at 60fps on the PS5, thanks to a patch Rockstar put out on October 2023. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The same can\u2019t be said for RDR on Xbox Series X|S, which is still running the backwards compatible Xbox 360 version. As a result, RDR is stuck at 30fps on the Series X|S. <\/p>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_8nc2s_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/SlkizyzZ8k4\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SlkizyzZ8k4\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SlkizyzZ8k4\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">With this announcement, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to run the game at <b>4K at 60fps<\/b>, in addition to HDR support and \u201cenhanced image quality\u201d compared to their last-gen counterparts. For the Switch 2 version, Rockstar stated that DLSS has allowed the game to run at 60 frames, though the studio never specified whether it could output to 4K. It does, however, support <b>Joy-Con 2 mouse control<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Additionally, PS5 and Switch 2 users are able to <b>pick up from previous save data<\/b> on their last-gen consoles. And as for the mobile ports, it\u2019s pretty self-explanatory: It\u2019s the whole game on<b> iOS <\/b>and <b>Android<\/b>. It remains to be seen how much graphical fidelity will be retained, though, and controls for console games haven\u2019t always translated well to touchscreens. Still, Rockstar touts \u201cmobile-friendly control options\u201d for the mobile ports.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pricing-and-availability\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Though Rockstar hasn\u2019t stated how much the standalone releases for ninth-gen consoles will be, those who already have a backwards compatible version of RDR will <b>receive the upgrade for free<\/b>. It will also be available on GTA+ Games Library and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For the mobile ports, again, the game is exclusive to Netflix subscribers, and those eager to get them at launch can pre-register on the App Store and Google Play Store. Both the ninth-gen console editions and mobile ports will release on <b>2 December<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/rockstar-red-dead-redemption-playstation-xbox-nintendo-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Red Dead Redemption has been playable on ninth-gen consoles via backwards compatibility for some time now, Rockstar\u2019s iconic open-world western has never seen a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4625,454,10388,5916,5147,4373,819,7990,563,6419,255],"class_list":["post-13497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-dead","tag-mobile","tag-native","tag-netflix","tag-port","tag-ps5","tag-red","tag-redemption","tag-release","tag-subscribers","tag-switch","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13497\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
