What’s happened? Red Dead Redemption is coming to mobile as part of the Netflix Games catalog, giving subscribers a console-era classic on their phones. The 2010 Western and its Undead Nightmare expansion are both bundled in.

  • According to Netflix, Red Dead Redemption launches on mobile through Netflix Games on December 2 for active subscribers.
  • The release includes the full John Marston campaign plus the standalone Undead Nightmare expansion in a single download.
  • You can pre-register the game now on your mobile device and play it via the Netflix app at launch, with no ads or in-app purchases.

This is important because: Netflix is not just padding its games tab, it is dropping one of Rockstar’s most acclaimed titles straight into a subscription many people already pay for. It is a clear signal that Netflix Games wants prestige releases.

  • Red Dead Redemption was a major Game of the Year winner in 2010, and having it in Netflix Games instantly lifts the service’s profile.
  • Bringing a full story-driven Western to phones helps Netflix prove it can host more than quick, throwaway mobile distractions.
  • Keeping the base game and Undead Nightmare together, without extra purchases layered on top, preserves the feel of a complete release.

Why should I care? If you already have Netflix, Red Dead Redemption on mobile is basically a bonus game waiting in the app. It is a straightforward way to finally play (or replay) a classic without digging out older hardware.

  • You can ride across fictional versions of the American Southwest and Mexico in short sessions, knocking out story beats or side jobs whenever you have a few spare minutes.
  • Dead Eye, the slow-motion targeting system, turns quick firefights into stylish set pieces that still work well on a touchscreen.
  • Once the credits roll, Undead Nightmare adds a pulpy zombie twist, with new missions, weapons, and the hunt for the Four Horses of the Apocalypse.
  • All of these, available on your mobile. If you’re not a fan of westerns, you can check out the best games available on Netflix now.

Okay, so what’s next? Red Dead Redemption is available for pre-registration now, so the main thing is to get it queued before launch. After that, it is just another icon in the Netflix app, sitting next to your usual shows and movies.

  • Pre-register on the App Store for iOS or the Play Store on Android, and download on release day, December 2.
  • On release day, you will find and play Red Dead Redemption through the Games section of the Netflix app, as long as you are signed in with a valid subscription.
  • If Red Dead Redemption performs well, it gives Netflix one more reason to keep chasing big-name ports, which could turn the games row into something you actually check instead of swiping past.

MSI’s next gaming monitor can morph between three different resolutions and refresh rates
Why buy three monitors when MSI wants you to buy one expensive one?
MSI MPG OLED 322URDX

Gaming monitors have slowly become one of the most aggressively competitive categories in PC hardware. Over the past few years, brands have raced to push refresh rates higher, improve OLED technology, reduce response times, and deliver increasingly brighter displays. But despite all those upgrades, buyers still usually have to pick one side of the experience. You either buy a super-fast esports monitor with lower resolution or a high-resolution OLED display focused more on cinematic gaming.

At Computex 2026, MSI appears to be trying to eliminate that compromise. The company has officially unveiled the MSI MPG OLED 322URDX36, which it describes as the world’s first triple-mode QD-OLED gaming monitor.

You may want to fix a mistake, or maybe even want to test a build. And sometimes, you just want to see what happens when your empire suddenly has more alloys than sense.

This is where Stellaris console commands come in. These cheats let you add resources, finish research, control empires, spawn ships, trigger events, or bend the galaxy in ways the normal game usually won’t allow.

Is Rust cross-platform?
Yes, but there's levels to this.
Rust player running by buildings.

Rust is the kind of survival game where choosing the right server matters almost as much as choosing the right weapon. This also reflects on the platform of your choice. If you're you're friends are spread across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, you’ll want to know exactly who can play together before anyone starts building a base.

The answer to the question is simple in one way and annoying in another. Rust supports crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox players, but PC players cannot play with console players. So yes, there is cross-platform support, but only inside the console version of the game.
