The boycott failed. Red Dead Redemption is one of the most popular games on the PlayStation Store

Ever since the announcement of the new versions of Red Dead Redemption, there has been plenty of negative feedback from gamers who “do not want to pay for the same thing,” and even more people have harshly criticized Rockstar for passing on a native PS5 version.

However, it turned out that Red Dead Redemption is currently one of the most popular games on the PlayStation Store. Considering that it is not yet possible to pre-order RDR, it is obvious that PlayStation users are searching for it and adding it to their wishlists.

Once the game is added to the store, those interested will be able to place a pre-order and start downloading Red Dead Redemption for PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 – on the latter platform it will be available exclusively via backward compatibility.

It is an amusing situation, as Red Dead Redemption was expected to be boycotted by fans who could not imagine having to pay for a simple port. But Rockstar and Take-Two know more about player interest.
