More than ten years after the game was released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Red Dead Redemption you will finally be able to play on PC. Rockstar Games announced the hit open-world western will debut at the end of October with a zombie apocalypse expansion, Undead nightmare.
Red Dead Redemption and Uundead nightmare will be released on PC on October 29allowing millions of up-to-date players to experience John Marston’s fraught journey across America’s decaying frontier in the early 20th century. The port, created in partnership with Double Eleven, offers a number of PC-specific features, including:
- refresh rate up to 144 Hz on compatible hardware
- support for monitors in both Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) modes
- HDR10 support and full keyboard and mouse functionality.
- support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 scaling technologies
- NVIDIA DLSS frame generation, adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and more.
Red Dead Redemption on PC comes more than a year after the “next-gen” port arrived on PS4 and Switch. The high asking price seemed a bit insignificant at the time, but a later patch added something we’ve been longing for 60 frames per second mode for a game running on PS5. It’s also available on Xbox Series X/S thanks to backwards compatibility and various improvements from newer hardware.
In the months leading up to today’s official announcement, fans have been sifting through leak after leak that suggested Rockstar is preparing to bring the 2010 hit to Steam. It’s still unclear why it took so long, but better delayed than never. Now if only Rockstar would bring it Red Dead revolver on PC, players could modify the whole thing Red Dead trilogy at will. In the meantime, I can’t wait for Marston to hop on board the Thomas the Tank Engine express.
