Fourteen years after it debuted on PS3 and Xbox 360, Red Dead Redemption is finally playable on computer. Since October 29, 2024, the western and its horror expansion Undead Nightmare have been available together on the Rockstar Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store, three weeks after its announcement.

What the PC version brings

The port was made with studio Double Eleven and builds on the 2023 Switch and PS4 release, adding computer-specific features:

Two stories, one package

Red Dead Redemption follows John Marston, a former outlaw forced to hunt down the last members of the Van der Linde gang to bury his past. The journey takes him across the American West and Mexico in what many consider one of the best games of its generation, with over 170 Game of the Year awards. It also picks up the story after the events of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Undead Nightmare reimagines that same world in the middle of a zombie plague: Marston battles hordes of the undead while searching for a cure. On PC, both adventures come bundled.

The soundtrack

The music, produced by David Holmes and composed by Bill Elm with Woody Jackson (Red Dead Redemption 2’s composer), is on Spotify and Apple Music, and Rockstar also released stickers and GIFs on its official GIPHY page.

Is it worth it?

Our take: if you’ve never played it and have a decent PC, this is the most convenient and best-looking way to discover it. If you finished it on PS3 or Xbox 360, the story is the same, but 4K and high frame rates suit it beautifully. The original’s multiplayer isn’t included.

What came next

PC wasn’t the last stop: in December 2025 the western arrived on Netflix, mobile, PS5, Xbox Series and Switch 2.
