Despite a recent ESRB rating for Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch, the Rockstar Games-developed Western’s next platform for play will be Netflix. That’s according to new iOS and Android store listings that display Red Dead Redemption at Netflix games available starting next month, on December 4.
Because it’s a mobile port of Red Dead Redemption available to play on Netflix, you will need a Netflix membership to try it out. The base game will be available in this mobile port as will its zombie apocalypse DLC, Undead Nightmare.
“When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is forced to hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends,” the app store’s description reads. “Experience Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico as he fights to bury his blood-stained past in the critically acclaimed predecessor to the 2018 blockbuster, Red Dead Redemption 2.”
Though the game is a mobile port, it actually looks pretty decent, probably the result of the original game launching back in 2010.
It’s currently available on those launch platforms – PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – and you can also play it on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S (via backwards compatibility), Switch, and PC. Following a recent ESRB rating for the game on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2, spotted by Wario64 on Bluesky, fans expected an announcement for those platforms soon. However, it seems Netflix is next up as the new place to play Red Dead Redemption.
Red Dead Redemption is coming to iOS and Android on December 4.
