The PC Port ofRed Dead RedemptionWill Finally Fix the Game’s Terrible Draw Distances
Suppose you remember riding across the wild plains ofRed Dead Redemption. In that case, you’ll recall how objects, characters, and even landscapes would often suddenly pop and keep rendering in the foreground, usually breaking the immersive quality of the game.

Considering how much the game relies on immersing you in John Marston’s journey and adventure across South America and Mexico, the issue has only become more glaringly bad over time.
Of course, it doesn’t help that these rendering issues have always been present in this title, plaguing the original release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and then improving only slightly on the Nintendo Switch and PS4 versions.
But finally,all that’s about to change with the upcoming PC release on October 29th, with adjustable draw distances promising to, once and for all, eliminate the long-standing flaw.

Of course, it’s not just the improved draw distances that have players excited. Thankfully, theUndead Nightmareexpansion will be included with the PC version, letting you dive into its beloved zombie-horror alternate universe.
While the multiplayer component will continue to remain absent, similar to the Switch and PS4 versions, at the very least, there’s nothing tostop people from experiencing the duology’s story in full detail.
But let’s not forget about the other technical advancements. You’ll be able to enjoy the game in native 4K at 144Hz on compatible monitors, with NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0’s inclusion offering top-tier performance boosts.

These features, combined with the adjustable draw distances, mean that this port will deliver a much richer experience than any console version before it.
However, Rockstar will need to focus heavily on optimization. While the new settings promise a smoother experience, performance hiccups could really undermine all the enhancements.
Plus, for PC players, this port has to be the definitive way to experience this game, so hopefully, the company will manage to deliver on that base.
