Red Dead Redemption Finally Gets a PC Release Date, 14 Years After Its Initial Launch
Red Dead Redemption and its popular Undead Nightmare DLC are officially coming to PC on October 29, 2024, marking 14 years since Rockstar’s Wild West classic debuted on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010.
“For the first time in its rich history, John Marston’s iconic journey will be available on PC with enhanced visuals, as both Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare arrive on PC this October 29,” Rockstar announced.
Developed by Double Eleven, the team behind the 2023 PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions, the PC port introduces a host of PC-specific enhancements, including native 4K resolution at up to 144Hz on compatible hardware, support for Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) monitors, HDR10 support, and full keyboard and mouse controls.
The port will also feature Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling, Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation, and customizable draw distances and shadow quality settings, according to Rockstar.
Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare will be available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Rockstar Store, though pricing has not yet been disclosed.

While rumors about the PC version had circulated, thanks to a PlayStation Store leak and a Rockstar website datamine earlier this year, the official confirmation is a big win for PC players, who have long felt overlooked by Rockstar. Both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto VI faced similar delays in PC announcements, but now that Red Dead Redemption is coming to PC, many wonder if more updates for the game and its sequel on other platforms are on the horizon.
