In a message shared on October 8, 2024, the Rockstar Games studio confirms the arrival of its commercial hit on Windows. Only a few days left to wait: the launch is scheduled for October 29, 2024.

One of the best video games in its category
Originally released in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Red Dead Redemption is a video game set in an open world. We play a certain John Marston, a former outlaw who seeks to find his ex-partners. In this action-adventure type game, the view is from the third person.

It is not only one of the best games in the Rockstar Games catalog, but also one of the best video game works in short. He has been nominated for numerous awards, and has won some of the most prestigious awards.
The carrying of Red Dead Redemption on PC will have taken a lot of time – the studio was however monopolized by the development of the “suite”, which is in fact a prologue, Red Dead Redemption IIreleased in 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and in 2019 on PC. Rockstar has prioritized a port of the first part to PS4 and Switch in 2023.
If the gestation of this port was long, it was worth it: Rockstar Games notably reports support for native 4K resolution with a refresh rate of 144 Hz (if compatible hardware), support for ultrawide monitors (21: 9) and super ultrawide (32-9), HDR10 management, and keyboard/mouse compatibility.
There is also the consideration of certain technologies linked to graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD, in particular DLSS and FSR for upscaling, which consists of adjusting a video to a larger image definition. However, it still remains to be seen at what price Rockstar Games will offer it.
