Rockstar Games today announced that a port of the original Red Dead Redemption is coming to PS4 and Switch.

The game will receive no other enhancements outside of some newly supported languages. This port is not coming to Xbox One as Red Dead Redemption is currently playable on all current Xbox consoles via backwards compatibility.

The adventure takes him across the American West and Mexico in a bid to save his family in exchange for capturing Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, and Dutch van der Linde. Meanwhile, Undead Nightmare takes place in an alternate reality where the undead have risen.

The game infamously launched in 2010 as a console exclusive. Thirteen years later, Red Dead Redemption
