Just a few days ago, Rockstar announced that the Red Dead Redemption Remaster will be arriving on PC as of October 29. In this announcement, the system requirements were mentioned, but the price of the game was not revealed. The game is set to be released on the Epic Games Store, Steam, and the RockStar Store, depending on what launcher you want to use. Today, the Epic Games Store seems to have leaked the price of the game, with it set to cost $49.99. This was shown in a screenshot by John Papadopoulos over at DSOGaming. At the moment, the game is starkly cheaper on console, with Red Dead Redemption costing $29.99 on every other platform, not including when the game goes on sale. However, it’s possible that the game is set to cost more on PC, as Red Dead Redemption is set to have PC-specific enhancements, such as native 4K resolution up to 144hz on compatible hardware.
The list of PC-specific features doesn’t end there, though. This remaster being ported to PC was done in collaboration with Double Eleven to add monitor support for Ultrawide and Super Ultrawide monitors, as well as full keyboard and mouse functionality for those who prefer a more tactile experience rather than using a controller.
Additionally, the game will have NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling, as well as NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation and many graphic settings that can be tweaked, such as draw distances and shadow quality settings. Luckily, the system requirements are pretty reasonable, and most people will be able to play it on their PC, as the game requires a RTX 2070 as a recommendation, with the game being playable on even older graphics cards.
At the moment, it’s not known whether the game will be compatible on Steam Deck, as Red Dead Redemption 2 is just about playable on a Steam Deck. Despite that, Red Dead Redemption 2 remains one of the top games played on a Steam Deck. Recently, Grand Theft Auto V became unsupported on a Steam Deck after being one of the top games played on the handheld console. However, due to Rockstar Games adding anti-cheat features to the game, people will only be able to play the story mode of the game on the Steam Deck, with no access to the online servers whatsoever. Compared to the second game, Red Dead Redemption is more story-focused, but the game will be released with the zombie-horror story, Undead Nightmare, allowing players to team up and fight back against the zombie horde.
