It’s been a significant wait, but since Red Dead Redemption 2’s prequel was released on PC a year following its debut, it’s finally making an appearance. And when it does, you can anticipate some upgrades such as better frame rates and even “immersive spatial surround sound” in the PC edition. For your convenience, here’s the full description:

Offers a full, standalone single-player mode for both games, complete with bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. Red Dead Redemption encompasses all updates from the 2023 console version as well as PC-specific improvements such as higher resolutions, frame rates, and compatibility with multiple monitors, additional hardware, and spatial surround sound.

Red Dead Redemption Remains One Of Gaming’s Greatest Icons

Red Dead Redemption’s PC Port Confirmed Irrefutably After 14 Years

Approximately 3 months ago, there were whispers that the Red Dead Redemption PC port might not arrive soon, according to a source considered quite reliable. If this is accurate, it could indicate that Rockstar’s official announcement could still be some time away, or perhaps they are planning to release the game on PC towards the end of the year.

Regardless, I firmly assert that this evidence is undoubtedly authentic, indicating that the port is genuinely on its way. Needless to say, many enthusiasts — including myself — are overjoyed upon learning this news.

As a side mention, by February 2024, Rockstar’s accumulated franchise sales had surpassed 86 million units, indicating remarkable success for the company. However, when the second installment in the series (released after Red Dead Revolver in 2004) was ported to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in August 2023, there were some issues that arose. The launch was criticized as “lackadaisical,” and fans quickly noticed the technical flaws, which significantly impacted the gameplay on both consoles.

I’m crossing my fingers that Rockstar will deliver a smoother PC release for Red Dead Redemption next time.
