Red Dead Redemption and zombie add-on Undead Nightmare are coming to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on August 17, Rockstar has announced.

According to Rockstar, the port is a "conversion" rather than a remaster or remake, and it contains newly supported languages such as Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Latin American Spanish. It costs $49.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop and PlayStation Store, and physical copies will be available on October 13.

Will it be coming to PC or Xbox platforms?

Rockstar does not mention versions for PC or Xbox. Red Dead Redemption is already available for modern Xbox consoles thanks to its backwards compatibility with the original Xbox 360 version. But the lack of a PC version that Rockstar never officially released is definitely disappointing.

Red Dead Redemption stars series star John Marston as he travels through the American West and Mexico to find the last remaining members of the infamous Van der Linde Gang. The events of 2018's Red Dead Redemption 2 lead directly into the story of its predecessor. Red Dead Redemption on Nintendo Switch and PS4 also includes the story of Undead Nightmare, where Marston fights to survive a horde of zombies and searches for a cure in a spooky, supernatural twist on the Western genre.

Is the gameplay of Red Redemption similar to GTA?

The story of Red Dead is a moving and serious reflection on the harsh reality of the Wild West and the struggle of the characters to survive in it. In contrast, the story of GTA 5 is lighter and satirical, focusing on the absurd and excessive criminal exploits of the characters.

While Red Dead Redemption 2 is by no means a horror game, it does contain the odd scary moment. There are many things in the game that create a shocking character in awkward situations.
