Today, Red Dead Redemption disappeared from the PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now cloud services, so there is now no other way to play the game on the new Sony PlayStation 5 device.

The game was added to the PlayStation Now cloud service in 2016, and throughout that period the game was available to all subscribers, while it was ported over with the new PlayStation Plus Premium service when it launched recently, but today note gaming community its complete disappearance.

Many of Rockstar's titles have long appeared on monthly service games, whether on PlayStation or Xbox, but Red Dead Redemption was something very special, as the game was only available on the cloud service. While it can't be purchased and owned outright and added to your library of classic games, it's now completely gone.

The only way to play the game at this time on modern devices is through the pre-compatibility feature on Xbox One and Xbox Series. Either through the physical version or through the digital version available at a price of $ 30.

Red Dead Redemption (1) is no longer available to stream on PS Plus/PS Now after 6 years since its debut on the service in 2016.

Microsoft's move to support the game through pre-compatibility could be a smart and clever opportunity for the game to remain available to Xbox platform owners, while Sony's abandonment of pre-compatibility support for PlayStation 3 games could be the main stumbling block that brought the gaming community to this impasse.

Meanwhile, with Red Dead Redemption's complete disappearance from PlayStation platforms and Sony's lack of support for the pre-compatibility feature on its modern devices, the gaming community has begun demanding alternative solutions to make the game available again on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Rockstar had plans to re-release the game with an enhanced version on current and previous generation platforms, but was forced to sideline the game along with other games due to the failure that occurred with the launch of the GTA trilogy and most of the teams moved on to focus on GTA 6.

Do you think the disappearance of Red Dead Redemption from current PlayStation devices will be a shock to players, or has it become forgotten and irreversible?
