Red Dead Redemption will launch at £40 on PC

Red Dead Redemption is a 15 year old game at this point but with it coming to PC for the first time this year, Rockstar doesn't intend to price it like one. 

Red Dead Redemption PC pre-orders are now live across all platforms, including Steam. Much like the recent Definitive Edition release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch, the PC version will retail at £39.99. While this edition of the game does package the base campaign and the Undead Nightmare expansion, little has been done to improve it over the original, so while you will have access to higher resolutions and frame rates, don't expect remastered textures or any meaningful graphical enhancements.

Like with other Rockstar titles, Red Dead Redemption is likely to hold on to its high price tag for quite a long time. By most accounts, the first game is still very good, continuing the story of John Maston, on the run from his former gang. The game takes place shortly after the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, so if you want to know what happens after all of that drama, this is your opportunity.

Red Dead Redemption releases on PC via the Rockstar Store, Epic Games Store and Steam on the 29th of October.

KitGuru Says: As much as I want to finally play this game, I'm not in a rush to spend £40 on it considering its age. Hopefully that price will come down a bit during sales in December.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
