Red Dead Redemption’s Switch 2 update will offer 60fps as well as enhanced visuals with HDR and DLSS. Switch 2 players will also be able to play Red Dead Redemption with Joy-Con 2 mouse controls.
If you’re buying RDR to play on the original Switch, you should know it’s still a pretty impressive port from a technical perspective. It runs at a stable 30fps in handheld and docked modes with 720p and 1080p resolution, respectively.
Red Dead Redemption is a spaghetti western that nails the mythic appeal of being a cowboy. The game doesn’t stray far from the open-world template that Rockstar perfected with its previous GTA releases. You have the freedom to explore, cause trouble, and complete quests provided by the large cast of memorable characters.
John Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American Wild West and Mexico to bury his blood-stained past and protect his family is a memorable one.
Along with the base game, this edition of RDR comes with Undead Nightmare, a horror-themed adventure in which the world around you has been transformed into an apocalyptic landscape overrun with zombies. Undead Nightmare was originally released as a standalone expansion, but these days it’s bundled with the base game on modern platforms.
