Directly from Rockstar’s release:

Starting December 2nd, players will be able to enjoy the classic Western adventures Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare on today’s mobile devices and consoles. The games will be upgraded for free, and existing progress can be transferred. Plus, they’ll feature a variety of improvements.

Experience the continuation of the epic Red Dead Redemption 2 story, following John Marston as he tries to escape his violent past. In the thrilling Undead Nightmare, you’ll battle to find a cure for a zombie outbreak that’s taken over the Wild West. These updated versions include the full single-player stories of both games, plus extra content originally released in the Game of the Year Edition.

Great news for existing players! If you already own the game on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you’ll receive the upgrade completely free. Rockstar is offering this update as a bonus to your current game, which is a fantastic move – we don’t often see developers do that, so they deserve praise.

Mobile and subscription ports

As a tech and gaming fan, I’m honestly blown away by the fact that this is now available on mobile. I still remember being amazed when I first played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, thinking that was as good as it would get on a phone. But now, to see a game as detailed and expansive as Red Dead Redemption running on mobile? It’s incredible – something I never thought possible!

Look, we’ve seen some great games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage make their way to mobile, but honestly, Red Dead Redemption appearing on phones *before* Grand Theft Auto VI? That was a total surprise, even to me. I really didn’t expect that.

Netflix subscribers get access to a mobile store where they can play games, including Red Dead Redemption, at no additional cost. If you’re concerned your older phone or tablet might not be able to handle the game, you can try it without worrying about extra fees.

Players with a GTA+ subscription will be able to play the game as soon as it’s released. The same goes for PlayStation 5 owners who are PlayStation Plus members. It seems like every subscription service these days includes a ‘Plus’ in its name!

Where’s the Red Dead Redemption 2 60 frames per second update?

It’s really surprising that Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t received any updates. I’ve been hoping Rockstar would add or change something since the game first came out on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 back in 2020, but nothing’s happened. It feels like it’s time they finally did something with it.

I’m really surprised the game still only runs at 30 frames per second on today’s consoles. It feels like a simple win for Rockstar, particularly with Grand Theft Auto VI not coming until November 2026. Why not release a good update for one of their best-ever games in the meantime?

I can’t be the only one begging for it.
