Rockstar Games has announced that the popular action-adventure title Red Dead Redemption will make its long-awaited debut on PC on October 29. This release comes over 14 years after the game first launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360. The game, along with its notable expansion, Undead Nightmare, will also be available on this platform. This PC version follows the title’s recent port to PS4 and Nintendo Switch, while it has already been accessible on modern Xbox consoles through backward compatibility.
Upcoming PC Release of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare
Once again teaming up with Double Eleven, the studio responsible for the PS4 and Switch versions, Rockstar is set to enhance the PC experience significantly. The new PC release will feature upgrades including native 4K resolution and refresh rates of up to 144Hz for compatible systems, along with support for Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) monitors. HDR10 support and complete keyboard and mouse capabilities are also included, according to Rockstar’s announcement.
In addition, the PC version will feature support for advanced technologies, including Nvidia’s DLSS 3.7 and AMD’s FSR 3.0 upscaling solutions, along with Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation. Features such as adjustable draw distances and customizable shadow quality settings will also be part of this release.
Rockstar has unveiled a trailer showcasing Red Dead Redemption for PC. Further details regarding pre-orders and more specific information about both the game and its expansion will be shared later this week.
It is important to note that the sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, is already available on PC. This prequel to the original game was first launched on PS4 and Xbox One in 2018 and made its way to PC in 2019.
Set against the backdrop of a waning American frontier in the early 1900s, Red Dead Redemption tells the story of John Marston, a former outlaw who is coerced by the government into tracking down members of his old gang. Initially released on May 18, 2010, this critically acclaimed game has won numerous awards and is often hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time. Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare will be available on PC starting October 29 through the Rockstar Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
