Red Dead Redemption mounts up on mobile as it hits iOS and Android for a hefty price tag

Red Dead Redemption is now available on iOS and Android

Immerse yourself in Rockstar's iconic portrayal of the fading Old West.

Ride on horseback, draw your six-gun, battle outlaws, and reunite with your old gang members.

Just a few years ago, suggesting you’d play Red Dead Redemption on mobile would’ve drawn stares like you’d grown a second head. Now, that dream is a reality—and you can step into the rugged world of New Austin and beyond with Red Dead Redemption on iOS and Android.

Join former outlaw and bounty hunter John Marston as he journeys through the twilight of the wild west, chasing down his former comrades. Along the way, you’ll face off against a wide array of enemies in classic Rockstar style.

Let’s be clear—Red Dead Redemption needs no introduction. It’s the game that revived the charm of cowboys and, in my view, still stands stronger than its sequel. Now, you can experience it in full, complete form, for a price of $39.99.

Yes, you read that right. The price is steep—comparable to what you’d pay on console or PC. But for fans, it’s a fair investment. And in my opinion, it’s well justified, as this version includes the entire Red Dead Redemption experience, including Undead Nightmare (my personal favorite DLC of all time).

So what does this mean? Is it a glimpse into the future? A long-awaited arrival? All of the above, and more. But enough talk—now is the perfect time to ride across the plains, draw your gun, and live the outlaw life.

Red Dead Redemption isn’t the only mobile port we’ve been watching this year. And if you’ve got a favorite game you’d like to champion, don’t forget to vote in the 12th annual Pocket Gamer Awards.
