Red Dead Redemption (Switch) transports the classic frontier saga to Nintendo Switch, letting you ride, roam, and unravel one of the most influential open-world adventures in gaming on the go. Step into the boots of John Marston as federal agents close in on his family, pushing him to hunt down the gang he once called friends across the vast American West and sun-soaked Mexico. This is the original Red Dead Redemption—predecessor to Red Dead Redemption 2—brought to life in portable format for a new generation of players.
Two legendary campaigns, one action-packed package — This edition includes the complete Red Dead Redemption story alongside Undead Nightmare, the iconic horror twist that reimagines the wild frontier as an apocalyptic battleground against a zombie horde. Experience Marston’s journey through gunfights, horseback chases, and tense alliances as the frontier era unfolds in cinematic fashion.
