Red Dead Redemption PC Is Out on October 29

It’s finally happening after years of rumors and leaks: Rockstar has just announced that Red Dead Redemption will be officially released on PC on October 29. It will also include the critically acclaimed Undead Nightmare expansion.

The port was handled by Double Eleven, the British game studio that also worked on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ports that were released last year. The PC port will offer a few unique features:

• Native 4K resolution at up to 144hz on compatible hardware
• Monitor support for both Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9)
• HDR10 support
• Full keyboard and mouse functionality
• NVIDIA DLSS 3.7
• AMD FSR 3.0
• NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation
• Adjustable settings for shadows, draw distance, and more

The Steam page also features the minimum and recommended system requirements.

Unfortunately, it is not the full-fledged remake powered by the Red Dead Redemption 2 engine that many fans had hoped for. While PC gamers have been waiting to play this installment for a very long time, there were ways to do that via emulators for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and even PlayStation 4. Whether the unique PC features will be enough to entice many users remains to be seen.

Still, there’s a chance modders may modernize the game’s visuals in a number of ways, from texture packs to character model tweaks to the various ray traced ReShade mods. Rockstar Games has not shared pricing details yet for the PC version of Red Dead Redemption; as a reference point, the game is priced at $49.99 on consoles.
