Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare Coming to iOS on Dec 2

[MacRumors]

Rockstar Games has announced that acclaimed open-world game Read Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion pack are coming to iOS and Android early next month.

The December 2 release on mobile is part of a larger rollout for the epic Western on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Netflix.

Red Dead Redemption launched in 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It follows John Marston, a former outlaw forced by federal agents to track down the remaining members of his old gang. Its successor, Red Dead Redemption 2 – released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One – acts as a narrative prequel.

From Rockstar's website:

Step into the events immediately following the blockbuster Red Dead Redemption 2, in the critically acclaimed tale of John Marston's journey to bury his blood-stained past. In its zombie-horror companion Undead Nightmare, fight to find a cure for the zombie plague that has overrun the frontier.

According to Rockstar, the new versions feature the complete single-player experiences of both games with mobile-friendly control options, and they also include bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. It's not clear yet what the hardware requirements are or how much the games will cost to buy.

Red Dead Redemption earned multiple Game of the Year awards when it was released, and it is widely regarded as one of the best open-world games ever.

Amazing game, might give a replay for the third time on my PS5.
Not sure how fun it will be on an iphone tho. I'd say it needs a bigger screen for the full experience.
Would have been nice to see it on the Apple TV.

These old "recycled" games illustrate Apple's sad state. They tout their hardware as being great, which it is, but it's so poorly backed up by software that there's barely any "new" games leveraging it.

its about what works on an smartphone...i think an ios heroes of might and magic 3 would be lovely on a smartphone

I thought this was about Product Red

I’d prefer a Mac port, to be honest. These are “big screen” games. Hopefully one is in the works.

I agree.

I had this three generations ago, on my 360.

It is a great game, but can they not bring anything more recent to the platform?

I ordered a backbone gaming controller for my 17PM yesterday, but cancelled it, when I gave it more thought.

I'd rather just play this on my PS5 Pro, if anything.

I’d add that it is RDR2, not RDR1, that is considered one of the best, if not THE best, “open world games ever”.

I think it might be worthwhile for an iPad 11 inch or 13 inch

The market for these sorts of games on mobile is incredibly niche. Its a much safer bet for developers to port older or existing console adventure titles than make one specifically for mobile.

As it stands there are dozens of great iOS titles released every month. Deep Rock Galactic is a recent release well worth the $15 as well as titles like Wargroove 2, Chronos Dungeons, 20 Minutes Til Midnight, The Ember Blade, Dysmantle etc.

Most of them are designed for a wide range of hardware though and do little to 'push' the iPhone because they're always thinking about battery.

From what i read elsewhere, RDR is coming free under Netflix's own game service ( for those who don't know, if you have a Netflix sub, you have access to dozens of free iOS games ). I find the selection of games on it superior to Apple's Arcade who seems to focus now more on games for kids.

Hero of Might and Magic 4, too!

No Mac or Apple TV support is a non-starter. An open world game this complex will be a pain to play on a 6-inch screen.

RDR is coming to Xbox and PS5 on 12/2 too.

I still have my 360 version on disc, great game.

Where is it iPhone Red Apple?

I think I'm on my 75th playthrough....

Bring GTA V to iOS.

Or, great older games are in more demand than the garbage that is being produced today and Apple knows that people are much more likely to love to replay Red Dead than some new steaming pile of garbage.

Hardly. I've played GTA: SA many times with zero issues.

There'll be a learning curve for sure however

 

[Howard2k]

How hard would it be to make this Mac based game? Surely not that much of a lift?

Is there Shadow of Colossus on iPhone? lol

Actually that game (or something like it) needs to exist on Vision Pro or another high def headset if it doesn’t already. That would be epic

 

[Unami]

Bought that game on the switch 1 for €20 - another sad thing about the state of gaming on iOS is, that those titles often not only come late but are more expensive than on other platforms.

This screenshot looks like a PS3 game.
