Read Dead Redemption is finally coming to PC, more than 14 years after it first launched on PS3 and Xbox 360. The action-adventure classic and its critically acclaimed expansion, Undead Nightmare, will release for PC on October 29, Rockstar Games announced on Tuesday. The PC version of Read Dead Redemption arrives just over a year after it was ported to PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The game is already available on modern Xbox consoles via backwards compatibility.
Read Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare coming to PC
Rockstar Games has once again teamed up with Double Eleven, the studio behind the PS4 and Switch ports of Red Dead Redemption, for the PC release of the game. The latest version comes with PC-specific improvements such as native 4K resolution up to 144 Hz on compatible hardware, Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) monitor support, HDR10 support, and full keyboard and mouse functionality, Rockstar said in his announcement.
The PC version of the game also comes with 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.
Rockstar Games also debuted a trailer for Red Dead Redemption on PC. Pre-order information and more details about the PC version of the game and its expansion will be shared later this week, the developer said.
It’s worth noting that the game’s successor, Read Dead Redemption 2, is already available on PC. It’s a prequel story to Read Dead Redemption and was originally released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2018, before making its way to PC in 2019.
Set in the dwindling American frontier in the early 1900s, Read Dead Redemption follows the story of former outlaw John Marston, hunted and blackmailed by the government to track down members of his former gang. The critically acclaimed western was first released on PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 18, 2010 and went on to win several year-end awards and is considered one of the best games ever made. Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare will launch on PC on October 29 via the Rockstar Store, Steam and Epic Games Store.
