‘Red Dead Redemption’ and Its ‘Undead Nightmare’ DLC Coming to PC on October 29 [Trailer]
Again, as was the case yesterday for Alien: Isolation fans, dreams do come true. And for fans wanting a PC port of Rockstar’s 2010 hit Red Dead Redemption, you’ve got your wish coming on October 29. Originally released for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, Rockstar will be bringing Red Dead Redemption, along with its zombie DLC Undead Nightmare to PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Rockstar Store.
The port was done in collaboration with Double Eleven, which adds PC-specific enhancements such as native 4K resolution at up to 144hz on compatible hardware, monitor support for both Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9), HDR10 support, and full keyboard and mouse functionality.
Other graphical enhancements include support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technologies, NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, adjustable draw distances, shadow quality settings, and more.
However, the multiplayer component that was originally included with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases will not be included with this version.
Rockstar will be releasing pre-order information later this week, along with more details on the game’s release.
If you need to catch up, here’s the story: set during the decline of the American frontier in the year 1911, players follow John Marston, a former outlaw who, after his wife and son are taken hostage by the government in ransom for his services as a hired gun, sets out to bring three members of his former gang to justice.
Meanwhile, the standalone DLC for Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare, takes place in an alternate timeline where Marston sets out to find the cause of and possible cure for a zombie plague that has infected his wife and son. Along the way, Marston must also liberate towns overrun by the undead and assists those who aren’t infected.

Konami and co-developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin have finally revealed more info on the upcoming Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, including a release date of October 15 release date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. The Nintendo Switch version will arrive “later in 2026.”

Pre-ordering either edition will earn players an Alucard costume.
Taking place in Paris, 1499, Belmont’s Curse will see Trevor Belmont’s and his daughter, Rose Belmont (as opposed to what Sony initially “revealed”), take on Dracula’s foes.
Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, ventures into the burning streets with his daughter, Rose Belmont. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, they hunt down the beasts bleeding from the looming castle. Rose is soon swept up in the dark conspiracy that lurks beneath. Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation?
In addition to the Vampire Killer, Rose will have access to the Arcana System. After defeating bosses, including the likes of Medusa, Carmilla and Joan of Arc (?!), the bosses are sealed into Rose’s tarot cards, turning them into Arcana. Players can then use the bosses’ skills to cast spells and obtain unique special actions.
Players will also be able to customize Rose’s battle style by using a variety of equipment, including weapons spanning seven distinct categories and Relics that trigger powerful effects through both offense and defense.
