Red Dead Redemption has had a long road to get here, with the game first launching all the way back in 2010 across Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles through backward compatibility, Rockstar Games brought a port to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch last year.
Looking ahead, Rockstar Games is currently slated to launch the widely-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 in Fall 2025. That game will be launching on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, with no PC version currently announced. Following the studio's prior work, the PC version will likely launch in 2026 or 2027.
