After many months of rumours and speculation, Rockstar has finally confirmed that Red Dead Redemption is getting a modern release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

 

That modern definitely needs an asterisk though, as it's important to note that this isn't being described as a remaster. In Rockstar's announcement, the release was described as "a new conversion by Double Eleven Studios," that brings both the original game and Undead Nightmare "together again for both new players and original fans to enjoy across modern consoles, including backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 5." The bad news? It'll cost $50, a surprisingly high cost for a game that isn't even being remastered.

 

 

An Xbox One release doesn't appear to be in the works, though the original Xbox 360 release is backwards compatible on the One and Series X/S. It is still a bit odd that the game isn't getting a "conversion" to Xbox One though, as both the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions will be getting a physical release October 13. You'll be able to play it a lot sooner than that though, as digitally the game will be available as soon as next week; August 17, to be specific.

 

I've bolded the notable parts, although not the release date, which is August 17th digital, October 13th physical. 

 

It doesn't appear to be a remaster, more a port to PS4 and Switch, which is why there's no modern Xbox version, as the old version already runs. It's also apparently $50, which if it's a port with no real work done, seems expensive. If its tarted up a bit then whatever
