Red Dead Redemption's PC Port Is $50, But Here's How To Get It For Less

Some 14+ years after it was released in May 2010, Red Dead Redemption is coming to PC this October. Preorders for the acclaimed Western opened today, revealing the game's price point: $50.

Red Dead Redemption launches on October 29 and can be pre-purchased now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Rockstar's own PC store. It's $50 across all three digital storefronts. However, you can get the Epic Games Store version for $42.49 with promo code OCT15 at Green Man Gaming.

Red Dead Redemption for PC includes the base game and the Undead Nightmare expansion, which challenges players to fight against zombies in the wild West. The package also comes with bonus content from Red Dead Redemption's Game of the Year Edition.

Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption tells the story of the cowboy John Marston as he sets out to seek revenge in 1911. Marston is tracking down members of the Van der Linde gang, and unfortunately for him, it's a long, difficult, and painful journey.

The game earned rave reviews upon launch in May 2010 for PS3 and Xbox 360. A sequel, Red Dead Redemption II, came out in 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One, followed by a PC launch in 2019.

The PC edition of Red Dead Redemption is developed by port studio Double Eleven in collaboration with Rockstar. Fans will no doubt hope the PC launch goes smoother than the rollout of the GTA Trilogy in 2021, which was marred with technical problems.

There will be a number of PC-specific features, including native 4K visuals at up to 144hz, along with support for ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors. The game also includes support for HDR10 and Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling. Nvidia DLSS frame generation is also supported, while players can adjust draw distances and shadow quality settings, among other things.
