"This might be slightly confusing at first glance, because a few years ago there was an actual Red Dead Redemption port released for PS4 and the Switch, which caused a bit of a stir because it was priced at $50 despite not being a remaster or offering much of anything new. It was technically better than the original game, but not enough to justify the pricetag to many people."
"First, this new version specifically lists an Xbox Series version. This is important because the port from a few years ago didn't get an Xbox release because the original Xbox 360 version is still readily available on the Xbox store. My thinking is that this might actually be a genuine remaster of some sort. Knowing Rockstar it probably won't be a huge upgrade, but it might have some improved textures, 60fps as standard etc."
A new ESRB rating lists Red Dead Redemption for PS5 and the Switch 2, alongside an Xbox Series entry. A prior port released for PS4 and Switch priced at $50 did not include substantive upgrades beyond technical improvements, prompting backlash. Rockstar later added a 60FPS toggle for PS5 users to the PS4 port. The inclusion of Xbox Series is notable because the earlier port omitted Xbox, with the Xbox 360 original still available on the store. The rating could indicate a native next-gen release or a modest remaster with improved textures and 60fps as standard, possibly replacing previous ports.
