has popped up for Red Dead Redemption on modern consoles (where it will come rated M for Mature, due to blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong language, strong ******* content and use of drugs).

The rating also mentions "zombies", likely referring to the games' beloved Undead Nightmare expansion — so fans should probably expect this to come too.

Rockstar is yet to make this new version of Red Dead Redemption official, but it does now have 12 months to fill since the most recent delay to Grand Theft Auto 6 — which is now slated for launch November 19, 2026.

Originally released back in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Red Dead Redemption is now also officially available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC. Of course, you can play the PS4 version on PS5 (and the Xbox 360 version on Xbox Series X/S) but no native version for modern consoles exists, yet.

(Of course, no modern console version of Red Dead Redemption 2 exists yet either, but one thing at a time.)
