Red Dead Redemption 2 PC features
Rockstar also outlined some of the PC-specific perks of Red Dead 2's PC version, which include increased draw distances, more realistic lighting, more detailed snow trails, improved reflections and deeper shadows. The PC version of the game will support HDR and high resolutions of 4K and beyond, and will support multi-monitor and widescreen modes for those with an array of high-end gaming monitors.
Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will also deliver additional bounty hunter missions, gang hideouts, treasure maps, missions, horses and weapons to story mode, though its unclear if these updates will come to the existing PS4 or Xbox One versions of the game. Of course, if you don't have a beefy rig, you'll also be able to stream Red Dead Redemption 2 via Google Stadia when it launches in November.
