“For the first time in its storied history, John Marston’s beloved journey can be experienced in stunning new detail on PC,” Rockstar said.

The PC port developed by Double Eleven, who also worked on the 2023 PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions, is full of improvements.

The game features native 4K resolution, up to 144Hz on compatible hardware, ultrawide and super-ultrawide monitor support, HDR10, and full keyboard and mouse functionality. Additionally, Rockstar has integrated Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technologies, making the experience even smoother for gamers on modern hardware.

Another upgrade is the inclusion of customizable character spacing and shadow quality settings, giving players more customization options for their systems. Part of the package will also be Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation, a feature designed to improve performance by increasing frame rates.

Despite these improvements, the PC version will only include the full single-player campaigns for Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare. Multiplayer content, a popular feature in other Rockstar titles, will not be included in this release.

To run the game, players will need at least the following specifications:

• minimum: Intel Core i5-4670 / AMD FX-9590 processor, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 960 / AMD Radeon R7 360 graphics and 12GB available storage.
• Recommended: Intel Core i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500X processor, Nvidia RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT graphics, with an SSD for optimal performance.

Although the pricing information has not been revealed yet, there is a lot of excitement in the community. PC gamers have long felt sidelined by Rockstar’s staggered approach to platform releases.

Rockstar has previously delayed PC versions of games, such as Grand Theft Auto 5, which arrived on PC a year after its console debut. The same situation seems likely with Grand Theft Auto 6, which has not yet announced a PC version.

The release of Red Dead Redemption on PC has raised questions about what Rockstar has planned for future updates on other platforms. Players are speculating whether Red Dead Redemption 2 will receive improved features on the upcoming PS5 Pro, particularly when it comes to 60fps and 4K resolution modes.
