Rockstar Games confirmed on its official page today that the sequel would make its way to PC starting on November 5. Pre-purchases for the game will open up starting on October 9, exclusively through the company’s Rockstar Games Launcher.

In addition, it’ll also be available for pre-order through the Epic Games store, Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, GameStop and other retailers starting October 23. A Steam release will also follow, but won’t happen until sometime in December.

This marks the first time Red Dead will see a release on the PC front, as the original never arrived on the platform. And Rockstar is going all out to give it the visual treatment it deserves, with a “range of graphical and technical enhancements for increased immersion along with new Bounty Hunter Missions, Gang Hideouts, Weapons and more.”

Red Dead Online will be a part of the package, with all of its updates already included. This means that Frontier Pursuits, along with a number of roles within the game, will be available right off the bat.

You may recall that Rockstar announced its Launcher last month, giving away Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That promotion is still ongoing for anyone that downloads ut and orders the game by October 8. It’s a good way to get prepped for the onslaught of cowboy shoot-em-up action.

But you can actually get more with this promotion. For those that pre-purchase the game between October 8 and October 22 through the Launcher, there will be two additional games available for free. They include Andreas, along with Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Bully: Scholarship Edition, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition and Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition. Otherwise, it’ll be available on those other sales platforms soon enough.

A number of free in-game upgrades will also be available, including the following:

  • Outlaw Survival Kit for Story Mode
  • War Horse for Story Mode
  • Treasure Map for Story Mode
  • Cash Bonus for Story Mode
  • 50 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online

So for those that have always wanted to tame this masterpiece on PC, you’re about to get your chance!
