Red Dead Redemption for PC includes the base game and the Undead Nightmare expansion, which challenges players to fight against zombies in the wild West. The package also comes with bonus content from Red Dead Redemption’s Game of the Year Edition.
Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption tells the story of the cowboy John Marston as he sets out to seek revenge in 1911. Marston is tracking down members of the Van der Linde gang, and unfortunately for him, it’s a long, difficult, and painful journey.
The game earned rave reviews upon launch in May 2010 for PS3 and Xbox 360. A sequel, Red Dead Redemption II, came out in 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One, followed by a PC launch in 2019.

Nvidia DLSS frame generation is also supported, while players can adjust draw distances and shadow quality settings, among other things.
