The PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 will come with tons of new, exclusive content which has never been seen in the game before. This ranges from a wide variety of technical, graphical and performance enhancements as well.
The PC version will take full advantage of the additional power of the PC to bring the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 to life in its best form. Every place from the snowy peaks of the Grizzly Mountains to the dusty roads of Lemoyne, the game will feature new graphical and technical enhancements for deeper immersion. It will have increased draw distance for better navigation, higher quality global illumination and ambient occlusion for improved day and night lighting.
It will also feature higher quality snow trails, improved reflections and deeper, higher resolution shadows at all distances along with tessellated tree textures and improved grass and fur textures for added realism in every plant and animal. The PC version will also support HDR, multi-monitor configurations, widescreen configurations, 4K and beyond along with faster framerates.
