Rockstar worked with developer Double Eleven on the PC port of Red Dead Redemption. The new release will include native 4K resolution at refresh rates up to 144 Hz, Rockstar said. It will also support ultrawide (21:9) and super ultrawide (32:9) aspect ratios, HDR10, and keyboard and mouse controls. Red Dead Redemption on PC will also support Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling, Nvidia DLSS frame generation, and other graphical enhancements.
Rockstar’s Western tells the story of John Marston, a former outlaw and gang member who is forced into a mission by the U.S. government to track down his former gang associates. While the story of Marston’s journey set against the backdrop of the closing of the American frontier was relatively grounded and serious, Rockstar took Red Dead Redemption in a much different direction for expansion Undead Nightmare, which launched just five months after the main game.
Red Dead Redemption was originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. The game was a critical and commercial blockbuster, garnering numerous game of the year awards and selling more than 23 million copies over its lifetime. Rockstar Games released Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, which has proved even more successful, with more than 65 million units shipped. Red Dead Redemption 2 was ported to PC in November 2019, about a year after its debut on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
