Red Dead Redemption on Switch: the Digital Foundry verdict.
The release of Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch opens the gates for more people to enjoy Rockstar's wild west classic and the good news is that the Switch version is an excellent fit for the hardware.
Here's Tom Morgan with the full lowdown on the Switch version of Red Dead Redemption, including seventh gen and PS4 comparisons. The only real drawback on Switch, to my eyes, is the low texture filtering quality across the ground, which doesn't even compare well to the Xbox 360 rendition of the game. Despite the texture assets being a match on Switch, their presentation at tight angles - the kind of angle you'd typically view the ground at while running - is often blurred.
The Switch version gets the job done, but much more was expected from the PlayStation 4 version of the game. There's a final question on frame-rates: should Red Dead Redemption have targeted 60 frames per second on PS4 and perhaps even Switch? Bearing in mind its age - a 13 year old game - seeing 30fps even on top-end hardware like PS5 is obviously a disappointment. Getting 60fps on Nintendo's handheld would have been a bigger challenge - but it's currently possible to see how it might have panned out, thanks to a mod from MasaGrator.
