Red Dead Redemption May Be Heading to New Consoles
A surprising new ESRB rating for Red Dead Redemption has sparked fresh excitement among fans. The rating suggests that Rockstar Games may bring the classic open-world western to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
The original Red Dead Redemption arrived in 2010. Yet the game continues to attract fans due to its strong story and memorable world. John Marston’s desperate hunt for redemption remains one of Rockstar’s best tales.
New ESRB Rating Sparks Port Rumours
The ESRB has created a new rating page that lists PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series as supported systems. This page sits apart from all older ratings, including the 2023 PS4 and Switch port and the recent PC version.
This new listing uses the same content summary seen in those older ports. That summary includes a mention of “zombie combat.” This detail strongly hints that Undead Nightmare will be part of the package again.
Why This Matters for Current-Gen Players
Right now, players have no native way to play Red Dead Redemption on PS5. Xbox users rely on backward compatibility. Switch players only have last year’s port. A true current-gen release would solve that gap for millions of players.
It also fits Rockstar’s recent push to stay positive after the GTA 6 delay. GTA 5’s return to PS Plus already boosted fan morale. A new Red Dead Redemption port could push that goodwill even further.
What Fans Want Next From Rockstar
A current-gen port of Red Dead Redemption would please many players. Still, fans want more. For years, the community has begged Rockstar for a native update to RDR2 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Rockstar has not commented on this yet. But a new port for the first game may signal more Red Dead support on the way.
Red Dead Redemption Could Be Set for a Big Revival
Rockstar has not announced anything officially. Even so, this ESRB listing is hard to ignore. If accurate, fans may soon ride back into the frontier on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo’s new console. More details could surface soon, especially with next-gen upgrades becoming a growing trend.

If the Undead Nightmare expansion is included, it would make this port even more enticing. That expansion still holds up as one of the best zombie DLCs out there.
