Rockstar Games launched the new version of Red Dead Redemption on modern consoles and mobile today, December 2, but the rollout did not go entirely smoothly on Xbox.
People who already own Red Dead Redemption for Xbox 360 digitally were expecting the new edition for Xbox Series X|S to automatically show up as a free download, but quickly noticed this didn’t happen.
This is an issue that Rockstar is aware of and the studio is working with Microsoft to resolve it. “Thank you for your patience,” Rockstar said.
The new version of Red Dead Redemption supports higher frame rates, HDR support, and resolutions up to 4K for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Switch 2 edition, meanwhile, supports DLSS, HDR, and mouse controls.
Developers Double Eleven and Cast Iron Games created the new versions of Red Dead Redemption for console in collaboration with Rockstar Games. Red Dead Redemption is also available now for iOS and Android for the first time as part of a collaboration with Netflix. All subscribers get it for free.
December 2 also marked the day that Red Dead Redemption arrived on PlayStation Plus. GTA+ subscribers can also get the new version of the game as part of their membership.
In addition to this new version of Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar is rumored to be working on new versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 for modern consoles. For more, check out all the best Red Dead Redemption 2 mods in the gallery below.
