Rockstar Games is making us wait a long time for GTA VI, but they’ve released the first Red Dead Redemption not just on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, or Xbox Series, but also on iPhone, iPad and Android.​

Crucially, if you have an active Netflix subscription, the smartphone version is completely free for you. Otherwise, you’ll need to shell out a hefty sum – and everyone knows mobile gamers aren’t used to paying big bucks for games. We’re skipping the fact that the original RDR launched 15 years ago, so dropping 39,99 USD is no small expense.​

That said, the mobile version of Red Dead Redemption is sure to be a massive hit, thanks to the huge fandom and Netflix’s global user base. This could be the way to get mobile gamers reaching for big, often pricey titles – previous attempts at that have mostly flopped commercially.

Red Dead Redemption mobile

The enthusiasm of mobile gamers can only be dampened by the fact that on Android, the game has fairly high requirements and won’t run on weaker or older smartphones.​ You’ll find the details below, but just head to the game’s page on Google Play to check if your phone is supported. Let’s hope the game soon becomes available on more devices.​

RDR fans will undoubtedly buy the game to replay it anyway, but everyone else – without access to the free version – will surely think twice before purchasing the mobile Red Dead Redemption.​

Of course, you can always subscribe to Netflix, which currently costs (in the basic plan) just over $7.99 per month and lets you try the game more affordably.
