Red Dead Redemption is no longer available on PlayStation consoles

Ben, a popular Rockstar Games informant, tweeted that Red Dead Redemption would no longer be included in PlayStation Plus. Ben stated that the popular game was removed from services six years after its debut on the platform in 2016.

According to him, the Xbox Series and Xbox One consoles are the only “modern way" to play the game in an official manner. PC gamers can play the game using third-party emulators available on the market.

While Sony has pulled the game off its platform, Microsoft, on the other hand, has enhanced the game to support 4K resolution. Players with an Xbox One X or Series X can take advantage of the game's enhanced 4K resolution, while those with an Xbox Series S can enjoy resolutions up to 1440p.

Ben praised the Xbox team and developer MVG for making Red Dead Redemption compatible with current-gen consoles. He said that this would make the game more accessible than ever.

While Red Dead Redemption is no longer available on any PlayStation consoles, Ben mentions RDR 2's demand on all platforms. It is currently ranked 18th among the best-selling games on the PlayStation Store.
