Red Dead Redemption 2 launched earlier this month on PC, though it’s not yet on the most popular digital storefront, Steam.
That will change very soon as the game’s page is now up on Valve’s store. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be available there on December 5th. Do note that the Rockstar Games Launcher is still required even if you purchase the game from Steam.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is quite demanding, as highlighted by Keith in his performance analysis, but also looks absolutely stunning.
So how do you sum up Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PC, I guess the only way you really can is ‘Demanding’. The game looks great when you can crank the settings a bit, but you’ll want to reserve as much VRAM as you can for the textures and push them as high as possible since that’ll be one of the most obvious improvements. Some would call the performance lacking and scream of lack of optimization, and while for now, that might be a possibility this isn’t exactly a lackluster visual title. There is so much going on in each scene that you really have to tip the hat to the developers for what all they’ve achieved here and there are some scenes that are simply breathtaking.
Moreover, the PC modding scene is already vibrant. We’ll be reporting on it regularly – stay tuned.
