Red Dead Redemption Switch physical version discounted ahead of free Switch 2 update

Red Dead Redemption's Switch 2 update will deliver 60fps and enhanced visuals via HDR and DLSS. Switch 2 players can also play Red Dead Redemption using Joy-Con 2 mouse controls.

If you bought RDR with the intention of playing the game on the original Switch, you should know that it's still an impressive port from a technical standpoint. It runs at a solid 30 fps in handheld and docked modes, with resolutions of 720p and 1080p respectively.

Red Dead Redemption is a spaghetti western that showcases the mythical allure of the cowboy. The game doesn't stray too far from the open-world template Rockstar perfected in previous GTA releases. You're free to explore, cause trouble, and complete quests provided by a cast of memorable characters.

John Marston's journey across the vast American Wild West and into Mexico is to bury his blood-stained past and protect his family in an unforgettable journey.

In addition to the base game, this version of RDR also comes with Undead Nightmare, a horror-themed adventure game in which the world around you has been transformed into a zombie-infested apocalyptic landscape. Undead Nightmare was originally released as a standalone expansion, but now it's bundled with the base game on modern platforms.
