Ahead of its November 5 release, Rockstar has been slowly shedding more light on its PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Coming just about a year after the sequel’s launch on PS4 and Xbox One, the PC version will bring with it new content on top of the familiar adventure fans may have played on consoles. But, even after some impressive 4K trailers, we have questions about the PC version of Red Dead 2 and, thankfully, Rockstar Games has answered our questions.
Speaking to IGN over email, Rockstar North Associate Technical Director Alex Hajadj answered some of IGN’s most pressing questions about the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Read on for our questions — and their answers — and be sure to check out the latest trailer for Red Dead 2 on PC in 4K below.
When Rockstar revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be launching on PC this November, a year after its initial launch on consoles, we all wondered if the update between versions would be as massive an overhaul as it was when GTA 5 made the platform leap in 2015. The answer is, perhaps unsurprisingly, no – but that doesn’t mean that this is the exact same version that we experienced on PS4 and Xbox One last year.
I recently got a chance to spend an hour or so with Arthur and Dutch and the rest of the Van der Linde gang’s first PC outing. While I may not have been as flabbergasted as I was when we originally saw Red Dead 2 for the very first time, it was nonetheless impressive to see how the PC update has made some subtle – but very important – tweaks to the already-gorgeous world of New Hanover, Lemoyne and the rest of the West.
Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC features 4K resolution, HDR, and plenty of visual enhancements, and we have 17 new images that show off how Rockstar Games has improved upon its title that was originally released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018.
In addition to the graphical and visual improvements, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC also includes multi-monitor support, widescreen support, and faster framerates.
While Grand Theft Auto V has a thriving mod scene, Rockstar Games is not yet committing one way or another in regards to modding for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC. However, it does say its priority will always be in preserving the “integrity of the Red Dead Online experience.”
Speaking to IGN, Rockstar Games further explained that while it loves the “passion that players have for our games,” it wants to ensure that “the community can enjoy
freely in the way it was intended.”
“We love the passion that players have for our games and the creativity that comes with that,” Rockstar said. “Our priority, as always, is on working to preserve the integrity of the Red Dead Online experience and making sure that the community can enjoy that space freely in the way it was intended.”
Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC will be getting a brand new Photo Mode that will give players a wide range of tools to capture that perfect moment while adventuring through the story and beyond.
Photo Mode is only available while in Story Mode and features everything from an Orbit Camera to Focus Distance to Blur Strength. The full list of features is as follows;
Basic Controls
Orbit – Allows the player to move the camera with the focus specifically on the main character
Free cam – The player can also fully detach the camera from the main character, so can move it freely (limited to a short distance away from the player character) around the environment

First-party Nintendo Switch games rarely receive discounts. It’s even more rare to see them get meaningful discounts, but today is your lucky day, Nintendo Switch fans. Walmart has discounted a bunch of first-party Switch games to $44 or less, and Amazon, to no one’s surprise, is price-matching this sale, too. There’s no guarantee you’ll see games like Super Mario Odyssey or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for less than their current prices on Black Friday, so now might be the time to stock up on great Switch games, either for yourself or for awesome gifts.
Though Breath of the Wild released in 2017 alongside the Switch, we can’t recall ever seeing it this cheap. Walmart and Amazon are both selling it for $43.94. The same goes for the superb 3D platformer Super Mario Odyssey, which is also discounted to $43.94.
More into side-scrolling Mario? Walmart and Amazon have you covered there, too. The create-your-own Mario experience Super Mario Maker 2 is down to $43.94 as well, its lowest price since releasing this past summer. And New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which compiles two superb Wii U side-scrollers, is also available for the same price at both stores.
Update: WWE has released an official statement on the flight delays from Saudi Arabia and how Smackdown will be handled tonight. 175 WWE talent and crew boarded a charter flight that had mechanical problems and never took off. Everyone on the plane was stuck inside for more than six hours during this time.
Other WWE superstars booked a separate charter in order to make it to tonight’s Smackdown in Buffalo, New York, but they will not land until after the live broadcast. WWE exclaimed that tonight’s show will feature Daniel Brian, Miz, Carmella, Nikki Cross, Dana Brook, and additional surprises. The wrestlers stuck in Saudi Arabia will leave later tonight.
This may be a good week to watch Smackdown, believe it or not, as fans should get a chance to see more midcard talent that gets lost in the shuffle at times. Additionally, we may even see talent from NXT or Raw show up, depending on the deal between WWE and USA and Fox networks.
Original story below…
If you’re planning on watching tonight’s episode of WWE Smackdown on Fox, be prepared to not see some of your favorite superstars. After an issue in Saudi Arabia following the live event Crown Jewel, many wrestlers are stuck in the country.
According to multiple reports from Dave Meltzer and PWInsider, a flight for WWE talent leaving Riyadh, Saudi Arabia–after its annual Crown Jewel event–and headed to Buffalo, New York has been delayed and everyone has been sitting on the plane for hours due to a mechanical issue. As talent has already gone through Saudi customs, they can’t leave the plane, unless they want to go through customs again.
Reportedly, these stuck wrestlers are trying to find another way home, but the problem is that it’s already a 13 hour flight, minimum, and many of the flights leaving the country make stops in Germany or England before flying to the states, making the trip a day long. Smackdown starts at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, so there is no way these wrestlers stuck in Saudi will make it back in time.
According to PWInsider, Brock Lesnar left on his own private plane. WWE does have other talent who did not go to Crown Jewel like Sami Zayn, The Miz, Daniel Bryan, and the vast majority of the women’s roster, among others.
There have been a few matches and events being promoted for tonight’s Smackdown, which probably won’t happen. While Miz didn’t go to Saudi Arabia, Bray Wyatt did, and there is a decent chance that he didn’t get out of the country in time to make it to the show, so we may not see the new Universal Champion on Smackdown tonight. Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin was also being promoted, and considering both men were at Crown Jewel, you can count this one out.
The only match that will for sure happen is the women’s tag match: Bayley (c), Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. Nikki Cross, Carmella, & Dana Brooke. Regardless, WWE has a deep enough roster to make the show work, even with a dozen members of its roster missing.
Smackdown airs on Fox on Fridays at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.

Writer and director Clive Barker is the man behind Hellraiser, Candyman, and Nightbreed, and one of the most revered names in modern horror. It’s now been reported that his classic ’80s six-volume anthology Books of Blood will be adapted into a movie for Hulu, with Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane producing.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will feature three stories, based on Barker’s books. The cast includes Anna Friel (The Girlfriend Experience) as a psychologist who meets a man who claims he can speak to her dead child, Britt Robertson (Under the Dome) as a woman who cannot stand any sound, and Yul Vazquez (Russian Doll) as a hitman hunting for a mysterious book. It will be directed by Brannon Braga, who will be making his feature debut, having helmed several episodes of McFarlane’s sci-fi show The Orville.
This isn’t the first time that Books of Blood has been adapted for the screen. The movies Candyman, Midnight Meat Train, and Rawhead Rex were all based on stories from the collection, while an adaptation of the wraparound story, titled Book of Blood, was released in 2009.
Farlane isn’t the only actor and writer best known for comedy to get involved with horror over the past couple of years. Danny McBride co-wrote last year’s hugely successful Halloween reboot and has also written next year’s sequel Halloween Kills. In addition, Chris Rock developed the story and will star in the next Saw movie, which hits theaters next May.
Anthem continues to lose its lead voices as another public-facing figure departs BioWare following the live service game’s rocky launch.
Chad Robertson, BioWare’s head of live service, announced on Twitter that he’s leaving the studio after 14 years of service. “Star Wars: The Old Republic, Anthem, the Austin studio, and BioWare are in good hands; you can expect great things ahead,” he said. “I’m very excited about the next step of my journey in the game industry and look forward to sharing that soon.”
This is my last week with BioWare. I’ve been with the company for 14 years and am grateful for everything I’ve been part of here. SW:TOR, Anthem, the Austin studio, and BioWare are in good hands; you can expect great things ahead.
I join as a fan now, and look forward to playing BioWare games for years to come. I’m very excited about the next step of my journey in the game industry and look forward to sharing that soon.
Robertson is the second Anthem lead to depart BioWare following the game’s launch, after lead producer Ben Irving left the studio back in August. Irving took over Anthem’s post-launch plans when the original creatives moved on to other projects, with Robertson seemingly replacing him in August–albeit with no change of title. Back in September, Robertson said the studio was ditching the game’s “Acts” structure so that BioWare could address some of the “core issues” people were experiencing, opting instead to release future content as seasonal updates.
Robertson has served a variety of roles at BioWare, including Head of Technology and Studio Director at BioWare Austin.

Halloween is behind us, which means the retail world can start leaning into the Christmas season and the sales and savings events associated with the biggest spending season of the year. Walmart has already kicked off its Christmas sales, and while a majority of them are just repackages of already-live price drops, there’s a great chance to save on first-party Nintendo games.
