Red Dead Redemption has made an exciting debut on the Xbox on PC storefront in New Zealand, just ahead of its anticipated upgrades for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 set to launch tomorrow. The digital listing for the game shows a price of NZ$84.90, currently discounted to NZ$42.45, equating to approximately $50 at full price and $25 during the promotional period. This pricing aligns with that of the game on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation platforms.
The Xbox Series consoles are poised to receive a stunning 4K/60fps version of Red Dead Redemption, which will be available from December 2nd, 2025. The PC release comes as a pleasant surprise, debuting at midnight New Zealand time. Originally released on Xbox 360, the game has become a classic, further amplified by its sequel, which ranks among the highest-rated games of its generation. Although there have been persistent rumors surrounding a native version of Red Dead Redemption 2 for Xbox Series and PS5, official confirmation has yet to surface.
The Xbox on PC storefront elaborates that this product includes both the Red Dead Redemption and its zombie-themed expansion, Undead Nightmare, providing players with the full single-player experience along with bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition. Gamers will follow former outlaw John Marston as he pursues the final members of the infamous Van der Linde Gang in this critically acclaimed precursor to Red Dead Redemption 2.
PC players can look forward to enhanced features that elevate the game experience, including HDR lighting, native 4K resolution, support for refresh rates up to 144Hz on compatible hardware, and monitor compatibility for Ultrawide (21:9) and Super Ultrawide (32:9) displays. Customizable draw distances and shadow quality settings further enhance the visual presentation of this classic title. However, it’s worth noting that the multiplayer aspect is only accessible in the original Xbox 360 version.
As fans of the franchise immerse themselves in this re-release, the opportunity to experience Red Dead Redemption on PC heralds a new chapter for both long-time players and newcomers alike.
