Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare finally come to PC on October 29th! Experience John Marston's epic story with 4K resolution, ultrawide support, enhanced visuals, and more.

After years of anticipation, PC gamers can finally saddle up for John Marston’s unforgettable journey as Rockstar Games officially announces the release of Red Dead Redemption and its acclaimed zombie-horror expansion, Undead Nightmare, on October 29th. This release marks the first time the classic Western adventure will be playable on PC, bringing with it a host of enhancements and improvements.

A New Era for a Classic Tale

Developed in partnership with Double Eleven, this version of Red Dead Redemption has been meticulously optimized for the PC platform. Players can expect a significantly enhanced visual experience, with support for native 4K resolution at refresh rates up to 144hz on capable hardware. Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) monitor support further expands the possibilities for immersive gameplay. The addition of HDR10 support promises richer colors and greater contrast, bringing the game’s atmospheric world to life like never before.

Performance and Fidelity

Beyond resolution and aspect ratio enhancements, Rockstar is leveraging cutting-edge upscaling technologies to maximize performance. NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 will allow players to achieve higher frame rates without sacrificing image quality. The inclusion of NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation represents a significant step forward, utilizing AI to generate entirely new frames and dramatically boost performance. Furthermore, players can fine-tune their experience with adjustable settings for draw distances, shadow quality, and other graphical options.

Modernized Controls and Accessibility

Recognizing the importance of precise control in an action-adventure game, the PC version of Red Dead Redemption features full keyboard and mouse functionality. This allows for greater accuracy in gunfights and more nuanced navigation of the game’s expansive environments. While the original game was praised for its cinematic storytelling, this release aims to provide a more modern and customizable gameplay experience tailored to the preferences of PC gamers.

Where to Join the Posse

Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare will be available for purchase digitally through various platforms, including the Rockstar Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Rockstar Games plans to release pre-purchase information later this week, giving eager fans the opportunity to secure their copy ahead of launch.

For those who can’t wait to revisit or experience this classic Western tale, Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare are currently available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox. However, the PC release promises to be the definitive edition, offering the most visually impressive and feature-rich way to experience John Marston’s journey.
