On December 2, 2025, Rockstar Games will bring Red Dead Redemption and its zombie companion Undead Nightmare to a far wider circle of devices than the western frontier ever imagined, from Nintendo's new Switch 2 to phones, consoles, and the streaming service Netflix. The move follows hints that had already surfaced in ratings listings, and it extends a game that many players first met years ago to audiences who may never have owned a console.

Red Dead Redemption Arrives on Switch 2, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Netflix on December 2
More players than ever can take Marston's journey with them
Mark
So what actually lands on December 2?
Mimi
Red Dead Redemption and its zombie spinoff, Undead Nightmare, on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, Android, and Netflix. Both are the full single-player games, with bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition.
Mark
Why does the Netflix piece stand out?
Mimi
Because members can download and play it as part of their subscription. It puts a Rockstar game in front of people who may never buy a console.
Luke
Careful, though. The source says it's included in the subscription, but it doesn't spell out how the Netflix version plays or which devices support it.
Mark
What are the upgrades?
Mimi
On PS5 and Xbox, 60 frames per second, HDR, and up to 4K. On Switch 2, DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and 60 fps at high resolution.
Luke
Those are Rockstar's own claims. Nobody has independently tested them yet, so how the game actually performs is still unknown.
Mark
And the GTA 6 worry at the end?
Luke
That's the writer's hope, not a finding. Nothing in the announcement connects this release to GTA 6's schedule.
Mimi
Fair, but it explains why people are watching Rockstar's timing so closely.
Le Pouls
- Rockstar sends its 2010 western across Switch 2, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Netflix on the same day, December 2, 2025.
- Leaked ESRB listings ran ahead of the official word, and the Switch 2 version landed as the confirmation that closed the rumor cycle.
- Players can carry their progress over, and each platform gets its own upgrade path, from 60fps and HDR to up to 4K on consoles and DLSS on Switch 2.
- Chatter now turns to GTA 6, with fans watching closely to see whether this sprawling port affects the timing of Rockstar's next major release.
On December 2, 2025, Rockstar Games will bring Red Dead Redemption and its zombie companion Undead Nightmare to a far wider circle of devices than the western frontier ever imagined, from Nintendo's new Switch 2 to phones, consoles, and the streaming service Netflix. The move follows hints that had already surfaced in ratings listings, and it extends a game that many players first met years ago to audiences who may never have owned a console. Each version promises upgraded visuals and performance, along with the ability to carry saved progress with the player. Whether this widening of the catalog is simply a studio finding new homes for an old story, or a sign of how its future releases will be scattered across screens, is a question the announcement leaves for time to answer.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Red Dead Redemption is heading to a long list of platforms on December 2, 2025, including Nintendo's Switch 2. The news follows leaked details on an ESRB ratings site that had already hinted a native Switch 2 version was close. Players who have had the game on the original Switch for a couple of years will find this an upgrade of something familiar, but the announcement reaches much further than Nintendo's ecosystem.
The same day, the game also arrives on iOS, Android, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and Netflix members will be able to play it as part of their subscription. The package bundles Red Dead Redemption with Undead Nightmare, the zombie-horror companion in which players search for a cure to a plague across the frontier. Every version includes the full single-player experience of both, plus bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. The story follows John Marston as he tries to bury his blood-stained past, picking up just after the events of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Rockstar describes the rollout as free upgrades with progress carryover. PS5 and Xbox owners get 60 frames per second, better image quality, HDR, and resolutions up to 4K. Switch 2 gets DLSS, HDR, mouse controls, and the same smooth performance at high resolution. The mobile releases mark the game's first appearance on compatible phones and tablets, with touch-friendly controls.
The 9to5Toys writer is enthusiastic, though the piece ends with a hope that this port does not delay Grand Theft Auto 6 again. That remains a hope rather than a report, since nothing in the announcement connects the two projects. What the release does show is how widely Rockstar is willing to spread its catalog, and readers will be watching to see whether that reach affects the studio's timing for its next big game.
Rockstar Games has made it official: Red Dead Redemption is heading to a long list of platforms on December 2, 2025, including Nintendo's new Switch 2. The confirmation follows leaked details on the ESRB ratings site, which had suggested a native Switch 2 version was close.
The original game has been playable on the first Switch for a couple of years, so the Switch 2 version is an upgrade of something Nintendo players already know. But the announcement reaches well beyond Nintendo. The same day, the game arrives on iOS, Android, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and it will also be available through Netflix.
The package covers two games: the main Red Dead Redemption campaign and Undead Nightmare, the zombie-horror companion in which players fight to find a cure for a plague that has overrun the frontier. Rockstar says every new version includes the complete single-player experience of both, along with bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. The story picks up in the events immediately following Red Dead Redemption 2, following John Marston as he tries to bury his blood-stained past. In publication order the game came first, which is why the sequel is the chronological predecessor.
Rockstar describes the rollout as coming with free upgrades, the ability to carry over game progress, and a number of enhancements. The specifics differ by platform. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, players can expect 60 frames per second, improved image quality, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K.
On Switch 2, Rockstar says it has taken full advantage of the new hardware, with support for DLSS, HDR, and mouse controls, along with the same 60 frames per second at high resolution.
The mobile versions mark the game's debut on compatible iOS and Android devices and include mobile-friendly control options. Rockstar's pitch is that more players than ever can take Marston's journey with them wherever they go. Netflix members will be able to download and play these versions on December 2 as part of their subscription, with no separate purchase mentioned.
The 9to5Toys writer is enthusiastic about the news, but ends with a hope that the port does not push back Grand Theft Auto 6 again. That is a hope, not a report: nothing in the announcement links the two projects. Still, the release shows how widely Rockstar is willing to spread its catalog, and the open question for readers is whether anything about the studio's timing for its next major game changes.
