It’s time to saddle up, boys. Rockstar Games’ beloved Wild West epic, Red Dead Redemption, has finally made the jump to mobile devices, with the seminal 2010 title now available on iOS and Android.

The biggest news isn’t just the port itself; rather, it’s the price of admission (or lack thereof). For most players, the most accessible version of this masterpiece comes by way of a Netflix subscription, which allows access to a bunch of curated games plus exclusives, including WWE 2K25 and GTA: San Andreas, another Rockstar title — at no extra cost. And we’re placing emphasis on this, largely because the standalone app comes with a premium price tag that might make your eyes water.

In the Philippines, Red Dead Redemption is listed at a shockingly high P2,279 or roughly $39. That is a steep ask for a mobile port, even one of this caliber. However, Netflix has included the game in its library, meaning subscribers can download the full experience — including the campy, zombie-infested standalone expansion, Undead Nightmare — completely free of ads or in-app purchases.

We’ve already spent some time riding through New Austin, testing the game on a variety of high-end devices, including ones powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. The mobile port ran beautifully on all of them — complete with native controller support — but we do have some not-so-good news.

First, despite the raw power of the chips we mentioned, the mobile version is capped at 30 FPS. Unlike its updated PC and console counterparts, there is no 60 FPS mode here. While hardly surprising for a AAA console-quality title running on a phone, it’s a limitation owners of modern flagship devices will certainly notice.

Second, compatibility seems strictly gated. We found that the game won’t install even on some pretty decent midrange models, specifically ones powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3, which use the Adreno 720 and 732 GPUs, respectively. It appears Rockstar has drawn a hard line on hardware support, so check the Play Store listing before getting your hopes up.

Finally, don’t expect PC-level tweaking. We found that there aren’t a lot of graphics options to enable. Aside from toggling motion blur and resolution scaling, your main choice is running the game under a Fidelity (read: Graphics) or Performance preset. You’ll also need to ensure you have the space for it, too. Red Dead Redemption for Android requires at least 6.79GB of free space to install the full game data.
