Video: Red Dead Redemption Switch vs. Xbox 360 graphics comparison

A new video shared by GameXplain offers up a graphics comparison for the newly-announced Switch version of Red Dead Redemption and the original Xbox 360 release.

Rockstar Games announced that it’s coming to Nintendo’s console earlier today. While not a remaster as was previously rumored, it’s still significant since the game wasn’t released on any prior platforms from the Big N.

There do seem to be some differences in the Switch version. For one thing, the lighting has changed – at least in some cases. Also, some textures and models have been updated.

Here’s some information about the game itself:

When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is forced to hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends. Experience Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico as he fights to bury his blood-stained past in the critically acclaimed predecessor to the 2018 blockbuster, Red Dead Redemption 2. Also included is Undead Nightmare, the iconic horror story that transforms the world of Red Dead Redemption into an apocalyptic fight for survival against a zombie horde.

Featuring the complete single-player experiences of both games, Red Dead Redemption also includes bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition and more.*

*Red Dead Redemption features the single-player experiences from both Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare, plus bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition and more. Red Dead Redemption does not feature multiplayer content.
