Summary
Red Dead Redemptionis finally coming to PC. The first Red Dead Redemption game is coming to the platform alongside Undead Nightmare on October 29, alongside some new PC-specific features.
It will be available through the Rockstar Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. This marks the first time that the first Red Dead Redemption game has been made available to play on PC, as it launched exclusively on consoles in 2010.
In ablog post, Rockstar outlines what we can expect from this long-awaited PC port, which has been made in collaboration with the studio Double Eleven.
“This new version adds PC-specific enhancements including native 4K resolution at up to 144hz on compatible hardware, monitor support for both Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9), HDR10 support, and full keyboard and mouse functionality,” the post reads. “There’s also support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technologies, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and more.”
Red Dead Redemption coming to PC is perhaps one of the industry’s worst-kept secrets. Last month, data for the game wasfound both on Steam and Rockstar’s own launcher. In August,the PlayStation store outright stated that Red Dead Redemption could be played on PC too, despite the fact that the port had not been officially announced at that point.
Of course,Red Dead Redemption 2hasbeen available on PC for some time. After its initial launch in 2018, it made its way to PC just a year later. It’s surprising that it’s taken this long for its predecessor to join it on the platform, but at least it’ll be here soon.
Red Dead Redemption will be available on PC starting October 29. It is also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
