Rockstar has opened up pre-orders for the PC port of their open-world western epic Red Dead Redemption 2. Now, you can pre-purchase and secure lots of pre-order extras by using the Rockstar Games Launcher. You can choose between the Special Edition for $59.99 discounted from $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition for $79.99 discounted from $99.99. Here’s what you get witch each version.

Together with RDR2 being purchasable, we also learn about its minimum and recommended system requirements. They are as following:

Minimum Specifications:

  • OS: Windows 7 – Service Pack 1(6.1.7601)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K / AMD FX-6300
  • Memory: 8GB
  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB
  • HDD Space: 150GB
  • Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Recommended Specifications

  • OS: Windows 10 – April 2018 (v1803)
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-4770K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
  • Memory: 12GB
  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB

For being one of the most advanced games available on consoles, what it asks from PCs is rather reasonable. Expect what it will take from your Hard Drive/SSD. Users who plan on playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC will need to free up a massive 150GB. With this massive need of space, RDR2 is now well among the most space-hungry games on PC. Still, space hasn’t really been a limiting factor for most PCs and laptops for a long time, so we’re glad that especially in terms of GPU and CPU the game won’t require extremely pricey hardware.

Seeing how the PC port of GTAV turned out as one of the best PC ports of all time, we’re hopeful that RDR2 will also be a great conversion that gives PC users grainy control over visuals and performance.

Read Dead Redemption 2 is launching for PC on November 5th via the Rockstar Games Launcher and Epic Games Store, and Steam one month later in December. Pre-order on the Epic Games Store will start on October 23rd.
