Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC
Red Dead Redemption 2 has been available for PC for some time. It's been out on consoles even longer. The game looks incredible on PC, because the video cards for the PC are more powerful than the ones in current consoles. But what are the recommended system requirements and what is the latest new about the game?
Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release
A beautiful game like Red Dead Redemption 2 deserves the very realistic settings of a PC. Yet, RDR2 was exclusively available for consoles for over a year. In the summer of 2019, a reference to the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was found in some source code. A Rockstar Social Club code referred to RDR2_PC. From that moment on, we had to wait for 5 November, the PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Extra content on PC
In addition to 100+ fps, widescreen support, and breathtaking 4K graphics, the PC version gets extra content as well. There are 3 new Bounty Hunter missions, for example. New guns have been added as well, such as the M1899 pistol, which can reload its clip with different ammo faster than a revolver. There are also new horses and more. Playing the game on PC is definitely worth it for the true digital cowboy.
PC specifications
To play the game in 4K with a good frame rate, Rockstar recommends certain specifications your PC needs to have. This is a list with the recommended system requirements for your gaming PC:
- Windows
- Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
- 12GB RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
- 150GB free storage space on SSD or HDD
- DirectX compatible sound card
