Following this first question, more tweets have arrived from other users who, however, have questioned the performance of the game on Series X. For example, a fan claims that RDR2 on Series X will have the same performance as the Xbox One X version. .
In response to another tweet questioning Series X’s capabilities, John Linneman’s comment came: “you may want to save this tweet for later. I mean to say“.

From Linneman’s response, it seems clear that Series X games will receive dramatic improvements and, likely, RDR2 will run on Microsoft’s next-gen in 4K and 60FPS.
It has undoubtedly given a lot to talk about, from before it became official through rumors and leaks, until after Rockstar’s official announcement. And of course, with the launch of , within the PlayStation community they wonder if the game will come to PS Plus… here we tell you.
Unfortunately for the fans: It will NOT come to PS Plus on PS4 and/or PS5. This can cause a lot of annoyance among users, since the only way to play it will be by purchasing it, which by the way, in it will be around $70USD.
When is Red Dead Redemption coming out on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4?
He of Releases August 17 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. You can already buy the game in their respective stores on each platform.
Red Dead Redemption was part of PlayStation Now until 2022
What’s new in the Red Dead Redemption port for Switch and PS4
To be frank, almost none, since on the content side it only includes the expansion the only which came out for the original game in 2010. Regarding the graphic improvements, it will only have those in accordance with the capabilities that the eighth generation can allow… plus the portability of playing on Switch and/or screenshots and video on both platforms. It will also have subtitles adapted to Latin Spanish.
Do you think it’s fair to receive this? Leave your opinion in the comments.
Red Dead Redemption is a game that, no matter how much time passes, will always be remembered as one of the most emblematic titles in Rockstar’s history. He certainly offered an open world way ahead of its time. And he did it without giving up an excellent story. Now that it’s coming to PS4 and Nintendo Switch, many you can discover it or revive it. Do you want a challenge to rise to the occasion? choose extreme mode. Today here we tell you what it consists of and how it works.
The three aiming modes in Red Dead Redemption
Although the original Rockstar game did not have difficulty modes as such, there was a very organic way to get the same effect. In fact, if we accessed the “Shooting mode” options, we could change that option from Normal to Expert. And in the same way, we could also switch to easy mode (called Casual). But… what did they really change?
As you may have guessed from the name of the menu, really affected the aiming system of the game. So, while the Casual mode, the normal mode allows when shooting. That meant an auto-targeting system with the ability to better aim with the right stick on the controller. And finally, the Expert mode offereda system of.
However, you should know that these aiming modes should not be confused with the Hardcore mode that came to the game later. In fact, this additional difficulty level wasn’t available until the GOTY edition of Red Dead Redemption, for both PS3 and Xbox 360.
Hardcore Mode not only set the target to “Expert”, not being able to change it during the story, but added other modifications to make the game more complicated. Now, all of that has been carried over to the new version for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. And it is that, when you start the game, you must choose between Normal, Extreme or Undead Nightmarand. That Extreme is of course the Hardcore mode.
At the start of the game on PS4 and Switch you must choose the difficulty mode
In other words, if you choose “Extreme”, the aiming system will be fixed at “Expert”, apart from adding the rest of the mods. Therefore, if you want to modify the difficulty only in the targetedthen you will have to start in “Normal”
How does Red Dead Redemption Hardcore Mode work on PS4 and Nintendo Switch?
As you may have guessed, the Extreme Mode of this new version is exactly the same as the Hardcore mode of the original. Something logical, taking into account that this new title brings all the content of the GOTY version (without multiplayer, yes). Therefore, it means that it is an option for turn up the difficulty of Red Dead Redemption on many levels and not just with the target. Something unusual in Rockstar games, by the way. I have here the list of changes implying:
Aiming is permanently set to Expert
Max health is halved
Health regenerates more slowly and starts recharging after a longer delay
The DeadEye does not automatically fill over time. Must be earned by killing enemies or using items
Horses do not regenerate. If you are killed, you must buy, steal, ride, or tame another horse and then harness it to a post to earn the right to whistle call it. Also, horse deeds are still available and unlimited, but twice as expensive
Shop items cost more
Sales values are reduced
The amounts of rewards/loots (ammo and money) are reduced
Pardon letters are rare
Fame and honor gains are reduced
Mini-game stakes are reduced to accommodate money shortages
War Horse Deed must be purchased for $10,000 (available at any general store)
The Assassin suit increases the amount of DeadEye gained from kills, rather than regeneration over time
It only works on the original story. Undead Nightmare is not affected
How to change the aiming system in Red Dead Redemption?
Remember that this can only be done if you don’t play in Extreme mode. In that case, all you have to do is enter the pause menu. Then it’s time to go to “Options”, “Settings” and “Shooting mode” (or “Multiplayer Shooting Mode”).
In case we select the Expert Mode, we will have to aim ourselves, without any help, as if it were a traditional third person action game. Logically, this is much more difficult, but it is also a fantastic experience for the most purists.
On the other hand, you should know that the players who select this mode will have some advantages, such as the possibility of earn an additional 100 XP by completing gang hideouts. And who knows. You may even drop the occasional trophy throughout your adventure.
As a curiosity, think that the explosive rifle and the sniper rifles they are always in expert mode. Therefore, it is the clearest reference you have regarding what awaits you with the rest of the weapons if you activate it.
That’s how easy the aiming is configured in the original game
Cheats for Red Dead Redemption Expert aim mode
Finally, you should know that this aiming mode is more difficult to master, but it can also make a difference in some situations in which the automatic aiming limits us in movements. For example, it will be very useful when you have to aim accurately while dodging (or when we release the aim button).
In fact, that will avoid fixing the closest target, which is still not the most convenient. In addition, the Expert mode will also be of great help in areas with waves of enemies located very close together on the stage. basically because auto targeting can switch between enemies when we don’t need it.
Oh, and although that also works if you play with aids, keep in mind that health regeneration with cover is higher than without cover. Therefore, you may need to remember it here to take advantage of it and get an advantage.
In short, maybe if you are good players, the other modes are weighing you down a little mobility and speed when it comes to drawing when it’s time and in the most suitable way.
If you haven’t yet enjoyed red dead redemption, we remind you that a good appetizer for the adventure that awaits you is to read the analysis that we dedicated to it in its day. Also remember that the game comes to PS4 and Nintendo Switch with all the patches and content released so far, including the Undead Nightmare expansion. And if you want to complete the game 100% pay attention to our definitive guide to Red Dead Redemption.
With the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, many previous generation games were upgraded to take advantage of the capabilities of the new consoles. That was mostly about recent games. Now it seems that the somewhat older Red Dead Redemption 2 will also get a version for PS5 and Series X.
According to the nice AccountNgt, Rockstar is working on an upgrade from Red Dead Redemption 2. Other than that, he had no information about it. When asked when this upgrade would be released, he also had no answer.
Get your hands on Red Dead Redemption 2!
Still, AccountNgt has been right more often lately. For example, the account leaked the postponement of the PS5 game Forspoken. It also announced before the official announcement that Sony was going to buy Bungie.
It is striking that there is currently nothing more to read on the AccountNgt Twitter page. You could consider that as withdrawing his claims. But there may also be another reason for the disappearance of the tweets.
Rockstar also came with GTA V upgrade
An upgrade for Red Dead Redemption 2 wouldn’t be too unexpected either. Rockstar, for example, released a PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrade to Grand Theft Auto 5 earlier this year, after it had also been upgraded for the previous generation. It should be clear that the developer is not averse to a remaster or upgrade for a successful game.
If you are a collector of physical games on Nintendo Switch, surely on more than one occasion you have had to deal with the cartridge that doesn’t actually contain the whole game, forcing you to download patches and/or updates to enjoy it. Fortunately, that will not be the case with , reassuring those who claimed that this annoyance would be repeated with the Rockstar Games game.
Occupying just 11.4 GB in its version for Nintendo Switch (via ), the capacity of 16 GB in the console cartridges was more than enough to place it in its entirety in physical format, including the DLC . Great news without a doubt, considering that the game itself is a game and not a game as many wanted.
That being said, obviously we will have to deal with the sacrifices required to fit the entire game inside the Nintendo Switch cartridge; The graphical comparisons have already told us what the game will look like, and logically the Switch version is quite notorious, although it is not far behind what the PS4 community will experience, a scandal that has already revealed its jaws without any remorse.
Red Dead Redemption for Switch and PS4: a “justified” port
Outside of the graphic section and the lack of additions (its only novelty is subtitles in Latin Spanish), the biggest annoyance surrounding the one for Nintendo Switch and PS4 is its price; selling a game released two generations ago for $50 was unacceptable for many playersespecially not being a game that justifies an expensive relaunch with at least some interesting new features.
Rockstar and Take-Two take the opposite view, resulting in quite a heated debate between fans and developers on forums and social media. We will have the final verdict in just a few days (August 17), although if you entered this news, surely the date you are waiting for is October 13the day the physical format of for Nintendo Switch will arrive.
Red Dead Redemption arrives on PS4 and Nintendo Switch in digital format on August 17, 2023. In addition, it will also arrive in physical format on October 13, 2023. And while the game was already available on Xbox One, it’s great news for those who haven’t played it yet. Among other things, because comes with all DLC And not just with the Undead Nightmare expansion. Today we list all the contents What will this new version bring? And they are not exactly few!
Undead Nightmare on PS4 and Nintendo Switch
Controversies about the price of this port aside, the truth is that it absolutely includes all the content that came to have the original game. And there is no doubt that the most important of all is Undead Nightmare. In fact, it can be considered a separate game, since it is a independent expansion. A content focused on the same universe of the game, but that really would not be canon or that not related to the main story (still taking some references).
Undead Nightmare puts us in the shoes of ex-outlaw John Marston, who wakes up on his farm and discovers that the world has gone mad: deranged hordes have invaded the cities and American frontier outposts. It is in this context that Marston must go through a world torn apart by chaos and disorder in a desperate attempt to save his family using all the skills he has to survive long enough and find a cure.
This DLC was originally launched on October 26, 2010 and was priced at 9.99 euros. However, it was later included in the GOTY version of the game, which was also launched in physical format (for 29.99 euros).
