- The Red Dead Redemption remastered PC version was just recently announced.
- While fans are not happy with the price tag, the remaster seems to have a visual upgrade over the PS5 version.
- The draw distance, lightning, and shadows all look better on the PC, but in some areas, the environment looks better on the PS5.
The Red Dead Redemption remaster on PC was finally revealed recently after a lot of rumors. The game is set to release on 29 October, but many fans aren’t really happy with it.
That is because they think a $50 price tag for an over-14-year-old game isn’t justified. While many are upset, there are some who are really excited to finally get this long-awaited title on PC.
Fans have also been wondering about the visual improvements, and it seems the PC version has some over the PS5 version.
Why it matters: Games on PC are usually not optimized ideally, but despite that, they look better. It seems like Rockstar has improved the overall remaster’s lighting for the PC version.
Cycu1 posted a video on YouTube comparing the visual differences between the PC and PS5 versions of the Red Dead Redemption remaster. The PC version seems to have a slight advantage, mainly because of the lighting changes.
For the comparison, Cycu1 has used identical scenes for both versions to make it fair. After looking at the video, it is clear that the PC version has visual upgrades over the PS5 one. The draw distance, lighting, and shadows all seem to be better in the PC version.
Also, at the timestamp 1:04, dust particles are visible only on the PC version. The timestamp 1:17, which also appears to be the video’s thumbnail, shows light passing through the wall cracks only in the PC version.
However, in some areas, the PS5 version seems better, as the color grading in the PC version seems a bit off. Fans were concerned that they were getting the same PS4 remaster ported to the PC, but it seems like Rockstar has made some changes.
While it has made some changes, the $50 price tag is still not justified for such an old title. Still, the PC gamers are finally getting the game they have been anticipating and are already thinking of playing it with mods. The game will surely look awesome with the different mods, so we are looking forward to it.
