Red Dead Redemption's PC port launches soon, but it's near-new game price might surprise players. (Rockstar Games)

Red Dead Redemption, along with its Undead Nightmare expansion, is set to launch on PC on Tuesday, October 29. While many PC gamers welcome this news, the price for this port may raise eyebrows. The Epic Games Store has listed the title at $49.99, while the SteamDB also reflects the same pricing, although Steam has yet to confirm the cost on its platform.

Red Dead Redemption: Price Comparison with Newer Titles

This pricing is notable, especially considering new titles generally range from $60 to $70. Although Red Dead Redemption originally released in 2010, its price aligns closely with contemporary games, despite being over a decade old. For context, its sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, debuted on PC in 2019 and currently retails for $69.99 on Steam. The difference between the two prices is only $20, raising questions about the value of a 14-year-old game.

Additionally, the port will feature various enhancements tailored for PC users, such as native 4K resolution support, up to 144Hz refresh rates, and compatibility with ultrawide and super-wide monitors.
