Red Dead Redemption is now playable for “free” (with an active subscription) via Rockstar Games’ GTA+ service on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
The development was first spotted by X/Twitter accounts like @videotechuk_, and was later announced more formally by Rockstar Games. This includes the Undead Nightmare expansion as well. IGN has also verified that the version of Red Dead Redemption on GTA+ on PlayStation 5 includes the toggle for 60 frames-per-second.

Last year, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption Update 1.03 quietly gave players a new 60fps toggle option on PS5 via backward compatibility. Although the news was exciting for PS5 owners, Xbox owners felt like they were left in a lurch because their versions of Red Dead Redemption — while running in 4K resolution — were limited to 30fps.
Unfortunately, Xbox owners still won’t be able to experience a “free” souped-up next-gen upgraded version of Red Dead Redemption with their $5.99 GTA+ subscriptions. Still, it’s a better situation than fans who are on PC, considering GTA+ is only on Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5 and Red Dead Redemption still doesn’t have a port on PC.
Red Dead Redemption was originally released on Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in 2010. In our review, we wrote, “Red Dead Redemption is a complete game in every sense — both the single player and multiplayer modes are excellent — and still manages to offer an attention to detail you rarely see from a game of this scope.”
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story said Red Dead Redemption originally released on 2004 on Xbox and PlayStation 2. This has been corrected.
