Red Dead Redemption is coming to the PC. Rockstar Games' announcement focused on all of the enhancements and technologies it brings to the game. But can your PC even run it? Here are the system requirements for Red Dead Redemption on PC.

Red Dead Redemption system requirements on PC

Unlike the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases, game studio Double Eleven has brought some incredible technology to the PC port. The game features native support for 4K displays and Ultrawide/Super-Ultrawide monitors. HDR10 is also baked in, making the game more beautiful than ever. But does all that mean higher system requirements for Red Dead Redemption on PC?

Luckily for gamers, the developers have kept the requirements in mind. To ensure all players will have a consistent experience, Nvidia DLSS, Frame Generation, and AMD FSR 3.0 are all supported to boost FPS without tanking the graphical detail.
