Rockstar’s open-world Western classic lands on Nintendo’s hybrid consoles as a single package: Red Dead Redemption plus the standalone expansion Undead Nightmare. It sits alongside other big, story-led action adventures on Switch, competing for your time with sprawling ports and narrative-heavy epics, but with a distinct frontier tone and a slower, more deliberate pace than most modern open-world games.
Switch 2 upgrade — what does the March 2026 update change?
As of March 2026, the game has a title update (v1.06) that adds support for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. If you already own the Switch version, the upgrade is free, so you’re not buying twice to play on newer hardware. That matters if you’re planning a console changeover, or you want one cartridge/digital purchase that carries forward.
- Two experiences in one: the main campaign plus Undead Nightmare for a very different, horror-tinged spin on the same world.
- Portable-friendly structure: missions and side activities break up well for shorter sessions on the go.
