It’s a big event for PC gamers: the Red Dead Redemption port is finally here! Here are the specifications so you can take full advantage of the benefits on your machine.
After numerous leaks about it, Rockstar Games has finally officially announced the October 29th release of Red Dead Redemption for PC, which was released in 2010 on Xbox 360 and PS3. After several updates on consoles, PC gamers can finally properly discover this cult title in the American Wild West. The studio naturally took the opportunity to share with John Marston the recommended configurations to get the most out of the trip.
Which PC should port Red Dead Redemption run properly?
PC gamers despaired of one day seeing Red Dead Redemption on their computers. This dream has finally come true, and Rockstar Games seems to want to do everything right with such an event. The 14-year-old title should basically be presented in its most beautiful form (4k@144 Hz, support for DLSS/FSR, frame generation, ultra-wide screens and other modern goodies from the PC world). In addition to the base game, the excellent Undead Nightmare DLC will also be entitled to the same treatment. Here are the recommended specifications displayed on the game’s Steam page to get the most out of the PC version of Red Dead Redemption:
Minimal configuration
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4670 / AMD FX-9590
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R7 360
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 12GB available storage space
- Card: Compatible with Direct X
Recommended configuration
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500X
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 12GB available storage space
- Card: Compatible with Direct X
- Additional Notes: SSD recommended
We therefore note that the recommended configuration for the PC version of Red Dead Redemption is a bit demanding for an updated 14-year-old game. In any case, let’s hope it’s better optimized than a certain GTA Trilogy The Definitive Edition for its disastrous launch in 2021. To satisfy PC fans of Rockstar Games, all that is missing is the confirmation of the release of GTA 6 on this platform. But unfortunately that’s another story…
