Red Dead Redemption PC port review – looks and runs better than ever

Red Dead Redemption has been released on PC, allowing players to experience John Marston's story five years after Red Dead Redemption 2. The PC port includes modern upscaling features like DLSS and FSR, but some technical aspects feel outdated compared to the PS4 version. Keyboard and mouse controls are well-implemented, and the graphics menu allows adjustments to shadows and detail levels for geometry, trees, and grass. The game runs smoothly on high-performance PCs, achieving over 100fps at 4K resolution with DLAA enabled, although certain settings can cause performance drops. The port is stable with no significant bugs, and over a hundred community mods have emerged to enhance the game. Red Dead Redemption is now available on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, and is playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.

Players can still access Minecraft through various mods on platforms like HTC Vive and Meta Quest, but PSVR users face limitations due to the closed nature of the PlayStation ecosystem. Existing worlds will remain accessible, but players will not be able to engage with them through a headset.
