Red Dead Redemption first came out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in May 2010. Now, after nearly 14 years, Rockstar has made a big announcement: the game is finally coming to PC. It will be available on October 29, which is just 18 days away. But, there’s one important detail missing from the announcement: the price.
Pre-Order Information
The good news is that Red Dead Redemption for PC is up for pre-order on platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and Rockstar's own store. According to the listings, the game will be priced at $49.99, which is $20 more than what it originally cost on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in 2010.
Enhanced Features
The PC version comes with significant improvements. Rockstar has stated that it will support native 4K resolution at refresh rates up to 144 Hz. Additionally, it will include support for AMD FSR 3.0 and Nvidia DLSS 3.7 upscaling technologies right at launch. This is especially beneficial for gaming handheld devices, as integrated GPUs can provide a much smoother experience with FSR and frame generation.
Customization Options
Furthermore, Red Dead Redemption on PC allows players to adjust various graphics settings. Rockstar mentioned that options will be available for modifying shadow quality, draw distances, and more. Plus, the PC version will fully support keyboard and mouse controls.
It’s interesting to note that Rockstar worked with Double Eleven on this PC remaster of Red Dead Redemption. This is the same studio that handled the game’s port for the Nintendo Switch, which hasn’t been known for its performance on that handheld (Legion Go curr. $529.99 on Amazon). Let’s hope the PC version performs better than that!
Steam, Epic Games Store, and Rockstar Store are the places to go for pre-ordering.
