Red Dead Redemption is finally coming to PC

Red Dead Redemption and the Undead Nightmare DLC are coming to PC.

After what feels like countless leaks in the last few months, now the original Red Dead Redemption is finally coming to the PC platform. Rockstar Games announced plans to release this week Red Dead Redemption available on both the Steam and Epic Games Store platforms on October 29th, adding to an already very busy month for video game releases. As Red Dead Redemption Players expect the PC version of the game to support features like 4K resolution, ultrawide monitors, and more to differentiate it from the console versions of the game.

Rockstar Games has released a new trailer for the PC version of Red Dead Redemption along with the announcement to show how the game is finally running on this platform over 14 years after its initial release. To develop the PC version of the game, Rockstar Games said it worked with Double Eleven, who it also worked with for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions Red Dead Redemption although the studio also has a history with the console versions of Fallout 76 and more.

By working with Double Eleven and leveraging some of the strengths of the PC platform, Rockstar has developed some features that are supported on PCs, provided you have the systems to support them.

“In collaboration with Double Eleven, this new version adds PC-specific enhancements including native 4K resolution up to 144Hz on compatible hardware, ultrawide (21:9) and super ultrawide (32:9) monitor support, HDR10 support and full keyboard and mouse functionality,” said Rockstar Games. “There is also support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technologies, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, adjustable character spacing, shadow quality settings and more.”

Like the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game, this is too Undead nightmare Add-on originally released as a separate DLC for Red Dead Redemption will simply be included in the purchase price instead. Quite different from the more grounded natures of Red Dead Redemption And Red Dead Redemption 2 thereafter, Undead nightmare sees John Marston’s world overrun by zombies. Red Dead Redemption received more DLCs like that after its release Liars and cheaters DLC that focused more on card games and gambling, but Undead nightmare is considered more of an expansion as it introduces an entirely new story.

Considering how many times we’ve gone through leaked entries etc Red Dead Redemption is coming to the PC platform, today’s announcement from Rockstar Games comes as no surprise, although it is welcome. Red Dead Redemption 2 was already available on PCs via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Rockstar’s own launcher, so especially after seeing it Red Dead Redemption and it is Undead nightmare After the DLC moved to more modern platforms like the Nintendo Switch, a release on PC was all but guaranteed.

Of course with the release of Red Dead Redemption On the PC platform, this means we will see a huge influx of mods for the game. PC gamers have found ways to play the game using emulators in the past, but there was no authentic way to play it on PC, which basically meant nothing in the form of mods. This will be a thing of the past when Red Dead Redemption however, is coming to PC later this month. A quick look at Red Dead Redemption 2The Nexus Mods page reveals that some of the best mods of all time are both those that allow players to rob every bank in the game and those that allow players to perform fancy weapon tricks found in Red Dead Redemption 2‘s online mode. Other mods expand the bounty system or revise the crime and law enforcement features in Red Dead Redemption 2therefore, not all of them are applicable Red Dead Redemptionit paints a picture of what players might get after modders spend some time with the game.

Red Dead Redemption is coming to the PC platform on October 29th via Steam, Epic Games and the Rockstar Store.
