Red Dead Redemption ESRB Rating Points to Native PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2 Remaster

A new ESRB rating indicates that Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion are heading to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2 with native current generation optimization.

A fresh ESRB rating has spotted a native version of Red Dead Redemption heading to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Switch 2. According to the rating details discovered by Eurogamer, the classification covers the base game alongside the beloved Undead Nightmare expansion, pointing to a complete package for players looking to revisit John Marston's journey on current hardware.

While current players can access the title through backward compatibility on Xbox or via the PS4 version playable on PS5, a dedicated current generation release means we can finally expect proper platform optimizations. The inclusion of the Switch 2 in the rating also lines up with recent comments from Take Two leadership regarding increased third party support for Nintendo's next generation hardware, signaling a broader strategy for bringing major catalog titles to the platform.

For players who treat their libraries as permanent collections across multiple devices, native current generation ports are always welcome news, especially when they bundle major expansions like Undead Nightmare. While an official release date has not been attached to the rating yet, the paperwork usually indicates that an announcement is right around the corner.
