In a typical case of “Better late than never” Rockstar Games is finally releasing Red Dead Redemption on PC.
Over 14 years after its original release on PS3 and Xbox 360, after it even got an improbable Switch and PS4 port last year, PC players will finally be able to enjoy the predecessor of the super-popular Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 29.
The package will include the zombie spin-off Undead Nightmare just in time for Halloween. Considering the fact that Take 2 CEO Strauss Zelnick mentioned that PC is a big growth market, it was certainly about time.
Players will be able to purchase the game on Steam, the Epic Games Store, or the Rockstar Store.
The port has been developed in collaboration with Double Eleven and comes with a slew of PC-only features.
These include 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 and AMD FSR 3.0 support, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and more.

According to the latest numbers released a few months ago, the Red Dead Redemption franchise has shipped 91 million units, of which 65 million are of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Whole it’s not Grand Theft Auto-level numbers, it’s certainly respectable, especially for a genre like Western which isn’t exactly as mainstream as that of its cousin.
