July 6, 2025: Rockstar Games has finally delivered what fans have been asking for over a decade — Red Dead Redemption and its beloved zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, are now officially playable on PC. This marks a major milestone for one of the most iconic Western-themed franchises in gaming history.
The PC version of Red Dead Redemption comes bundled with Undead Nightmare, offering players a complete experience of the original 2010 classic along with its acclaimed horror expansion. Previously available only on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, the game’s arrival on PC allows for enhanced visuals, smoother performance, and the added potential of mod support.
A Long-Awaited Launch
Originally released in May 2010, Red Dead Redemption became an instant classic, setting the stage for the equally beloved Red Dead Redemption 2. However, despite fan demand, the original game never received a native PC release — until now. The new release has been optimized for modern hardware, with improved resolution, textures, and framerate support.
The Undead Nightmare expansion, known for its supernatural twist on the Wild West, pits players against hordes of zombies in a survival-style story featuring protagonist John Marston. Its unique blend of horror and Western themes earned it critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.
What’s New?
While the core content remains faithful to the original, the PC version features enhancements that make the experience feel fresh:
- 4K resolution support
- Unlocked framerates for smoother gameplay
- Improved lighting and draw distance
- Expanded graphics settings for customization
- Mod support for community-driven content (anticipated post-launch)
Available Now
The Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare bundle is now available via Rockstar Games Launcher and other digital platforms, with pricing aligned competitively to appeal to both newcomers and longtime fans.
For many, this release is not just a nostalgic throwback — it’s a chance to relive or experience for the first time one of Rockstar’s most important titles in the best version yet.
