PC gamers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Red Dead Redemption on Steam and the Epic Games Store, a moment that marks the culmination of a 14-year wait. Rockstar Games, the creative force behind this iconic title, is set to unveil the PC version later this week, breathing new life into a classic that first graced consoles in 2010.
Exciting Features Await
Originally released exclusively for Xbox 360 and PS3, Red Dead Redemption will soon be available for Nintendo Switch and PS4, with the PC version scheduled to launch on October 29. The countdown timer on Steam indicates that players can dive into the action starting at 2 PM GMT.
This enhanced PC edition promises a wealth of upgrades and improvements. Players can expect to enjoy both the main single-player campaign and the Undead Nightmares expansion, similar to the upcoming console versions. However, the PC platform offers some unique features that are sure to delight enthusiasts:
- Native 4K resolution with frame rates reaching up to 144Hz
- Support for Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) displays
- HDR10 compatibility
- Customizable keyboard and mouse controls
- Support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technology
- NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation
- Adjustable draw distances and shadow quality settings
Available for £39.99 on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, fans can already pre-order their copies. However, there is currently no information regarding compatibility with the Steam Deck. Given that other Rockstar titles have been playable on the handheld device, there is hope that this beloved game will also be accessible without complications.
