Red Dead Redemption: Rockstar really came through with the best Western ever on Nintendo Switch

I have to admit it - I love the direction Nintendo Switch is going these days. The decision to ignite gaming goals for the more mature audiences with the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition and of course games like Doom for people 18 and older? Priceless. So it’s no surprise the release of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare on the platform? Insane.

It’s all types of gaming goals and relaxation mode with the Nintendo Switch in your hands and Rockstar Games giving you an extremely fun experience you can’t get anywhere else in the Western genre.

Red Dead Redemption, the Western adventure that defined a generation, and its groundbreaking zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, are now available for the first time on Nintendo Switch and for the PlayStation 4, with backwards compatibility for the PlayStation 5. Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare are presented together as one single package digitally for $49.99 through the Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Store, with a physical release set for October 13.

These new conversions of the original games were crafted specifically for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and both are showcased at a framerate of 30 FPS, up to 1080p resolution on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, up to 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro, and in full 4K on PlayStation 5 (via backwards compatibility).

They also feature bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition including the classic Tomahawk, Explosive Rifle, and Golden Guns weapons — along with the Savvy Merchant and Expert Hunter outfits, and more. Hardcore mode for Red Dead Redemption is also included, as well as Trophy support on the PlayStation 4, and in-game achievements on Nintendo Switch. The games also now support new language options: Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Latin American Spanish in addition to all previously supported languages.

One of the most critically acclaimed games of all time with over 170 Game of the Year Awards, Red Dead Redemption tells the story of former outlaw John Marston as he journeys across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico to track down the last remaining members of the notorious Van der Linde Gang in a bid to save his family. Relive, or experience for the first time, the events immediately following the epic tale of honor and loyalty in the critically acclaimed 2018 blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption features an award-winning score from Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, alongside a soundtrack from David Holmes that includes the memorable rendition of “Far Away” by José González. Listen to the Red Dead Redemption Original Soundtrack here — available to stream across popular digital music services including Apple Music and Spotify.

Red Dead Redemption also includes Undead Nightmare, the hallowed story expansion that reimagines the world of Red Dead Redemption as Marston fights to survive a relentless zombie horde and searches for a cure in a supernatural twist on the Western genre.

Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Online have awesome community updates coming

Summer goals are officially activated and if you’re anything like me, you know there’s nothing better than linking up with gang-gang on the headset in your favorite games - whether we’re talking about NBA 2K face-offs or those Call of Duty and Battlefield takeovers, it’s all about having fun in the communities. But with how much Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption Online have done to keep people across the globe connected and having more fun than ever? It’s only sweet music to your headset ears all of the positive things coming down the pipeline in the coming weeks.

From summer perks to what’s on deck as the temperatures change heading into fall and winter, Rockstar Games is making sure everyone stays the opposite of frowning. Kick back and peep all of the exciting things happening sooner than later.

As we look at what’s in store for the Rockstar Games community in the weeks and months ahead, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their unmatched enthusiasm and commitment to all our titles. It’s your support that drives us to keep pushing forward with everything we do, and we are excited to share with you the first details around upcoming updates and more.

With more players than ever taking to the streets of Los Santos thanks to the recent launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — we’ll be working to improve the overall GTA Online experience with new gameplay updates, adding top community-requested experience improvements and upgrades to make it easier for players to enjoy everything GTA Online has to offer.

In just a few short weeks, a new update is coming to GTA Online on all platforms that will expand upon the Criminal Careers of Executive, Biker, Gunrunner, and Nightclub Owner — alongside a set of Contact Missions that presents the opportunity to be sworn in as a special IAA field operative to investigate a budding criminal conspiracy.

This update will also feature some changes that have been long-requested by the community — such as reducing the effectiveness of homing missiles and countermeasures on the Oppressor Mk II, offering a more convenient way to access snacks and armor, and the ability to launch Sell Missions in Invite Only sessions. These are just a few of the experience improvements that will be coming this summer to GTA Online as we continue to incorporate more player feedback and other learnings moving forward.

We'll also be increasing some of the GTA$ payouts throughout the game to reward players for their time — regardless of what they choose to play. With such a wide range of things to do in GTA Online we believe that increasing these payouts will allow people greater freedom to do what they like and get what they want faster.

Bodyguards, Associates, and MC Members will see payouts increased to encourage and reward cooperative play — along with increased GTA$ payouts across a variety of activities, including greater payouts across Races, Adversary Modes, and select Heist Finales.

Plus, our continued commitment to specially curated seasonal events, additional bonuses and gifts, community challenges, and other surprises for players will ensure that Los Santos remains as dynamic and unpredictable as ever.

We would also like to thank the Red Dead Online community for their continued support and dedication.

Over the past few years, we have been steadily moving more development resources towards the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series — understanding more than ever the need to exceed players’ expectations and for this next entry to be the best it can possibly be — and as a result, we are in the process of making some changes to how we support Red Dead Online.

Firstly, with both new and experienced players engaging in the wealth of activities already added to this massively rich world including Specialist Roles, story-based cooperative missions, competitive Showdown Modes, and much more, we will continue to showcase these unique additions through Red Dead Online’s monthly events as we move forward, so players of all levels can enjoy everything the vast frontier has to offer.

Alongside seasonal special events and experience improvements — plus other changes to enhance and maintain a healthy Red Dead Online environment — we plan to build upon existing modes and add new Telegram Missions this year, rather than delivering major themed content updates like in previous years, and we will continue to highlight and share the creative efforts of our Red Dead community at every opportunity via the Newswire and beyond.

Once again, we want to thank the community for their continued support. We are truly grateful for all the constructive feedback we’ve received up to this point and hope you keep it coming. This direct feedback from players has been instrumental to the ongoing success of both GTA Online and Red Dead Online — and an integral element of what helps us continue to evolve and improve as we push ahead towards the future.

Please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire and follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for more news in the coming months.
