As a longtime Red Dead Redemption fan who’s been waiting for this moment since the game’s original release, I can finally exhale now that Rockstar has confirmed the PC port of this timeless masterpiece! It feels like I’ve been on a wild west journey of anticipation for over a decade, and it’s about time to saddle up and explore the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption once more.

Rockstar Games has officially announced that the first edition of “Red Dead Redemption” will now be accessible on personal computers, a decade and a half after it initially debuted on gaming consoles. First introduced in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, “Red Dead Redemption” was later accompanied by the additional game “Undead Nightmare,” which served as a standalone expansion for both platforms that same year.

For years, the game Red Dead Redemption was limited to PS3 and Xbox 360 systems due to backward compatibility. However, in 2023, it became available on Nintendo Switch and PS4. Despite requests for a remaster or remake, Rockstar Games opted to simply transfer the original open-world game to these newer platforms. Following the release of the Switch and PS4 versions, fans have been urging Rockstar to bring the classic game to PC, especially since many had played Red Dead Redemption 2. Now, their wishes are coming true with the announcement of a new PC port for Red Dead Redemption.

The computer version of “Red Dead Redemption” along with the “Undead Nightmare” expansion will be released on October 29th. This PC edition, developed together with Double Eleven, offers a range of advanced features such as 4K resolution, support for high refresh rates, Ultrawide and Super Ultrawide monitor compatibility, HDR10, keyboard and mouse functionality, NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and additional features. It appears that the PC port of “Red Dead Redemption” is packed with all the desired elements, but gamers will have to wait until October 29th to truly experience it.

When is Red Dead Redemption 1 Coming to PC?

  • Red Dead Redemption PC Release Date: October 29

Rockstar Games generally leans towards releasing their games on consoles rather than PC, often leaving PC gamers to wait longer for their versions. However, a delay of 14 years is unreasonable. In reality, it took less than a year for the PC version of “Red Dead Redemption 2” to become available, with its launch occurring in 2019.

In truth, Red Dead Redemption 2 serves as a precursor to the original Red Dead Redemption. As for the latter’s narrative, it unfolds some years subsequent to the events in RDR2, with John Marston being compelled to track down the last vestiges of the Van der Linde gang. The ensuing tale offers a classic Rockstar Games experience brimming with humor, action, poignant moments, and unexpected twists and turns.

Gamers who enjoy playing on PC can pencil down October 29 as the expected release date for the computer version of “Red Dead Redemption”. In the interim, they might want to prepare themselves for Rockstar’s forthcoming game. It’s speculated that Grand Theft Auto 6 may not be immediately available on PC at launch either, but hopefully, fans won’t have to endure a 14-year wait like last time before they can play it.
