Red Dead Redemption PC price confirmed as pre-orders go live

Pre-orders went live today for the highly anticipated PC version of Red Dead Redemption, with the cost finally revealed: $49.99.

That’s the price listed Thursday on Steam, the Epic Games Store and Rockstar’s own website. That $50 gets you the full single-player experiences of Red Dead Redemption and the Undead Nightmare expansion, as well as bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition (this doesn’t include multiplayer, though).

Rockstar finally announced earlier this week that the PC version will release on October 29, more than 14 years after Red Dead Redemption first launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. In addition to the above content, it will also include the following content : functions:

• Native 4K resolution and higher up to 144 Hz on supported hardware
• Monitor support for both Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9)
• Full keyboard and mouse support
• Support for Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 scaling technologies
• Nvidia DLSS frame generation
• Adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings and more

The highly requested PC version was developed by Double Eleven, which also worked on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch ports of Red Dead Redemption. Long rumored before this week’s official announcement, it was all but confirmed after the PlayStation Store bizarrely claimed in August that the game was “now on PC”, following evidence that a port had been unearthed by datamines of Rockstar’s website.

We don’t need to tell you that Rockstar’s Wild West epic is a modern classic, but if you’re looking for more while you wait for it to hit PC, check out IGN’s 2010 Red Dead Redemption review. We gave it a 9.7/10 and called it “one of the deepest, funniest and most beautiful games out there”.
