The special edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 comes with a significant amount of additional content. Players will get bonus content for the story, including a bank robbery mission and an exclusive gang hideout. Other additions include a dappled black thoroughbred horse to ride, talisman and medallion gameplay bonuses, gameplay boosts, extra in-game cash, a Nuevo Paraiso gunslinger outfit, and additional weapons. The ultimate edition comes with all of that plus online bonuses such as more outfits, more weapons, rank bonuses, a black chestnut thoroughbred horse, and the survivor camp theme.

All the Red Dead Redemption 2 keys sold through the Humble Store are only redeemable through the Epic Games Store, though, so it won’t work on Steam.

Rockstar Games released the follow-up to Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018, and a highly anticipated PC port arrived in November 2019 offering several upgrades from the console versions. Graphical additions include more realistic lighting, higher resolution shadows, and increased draw distance. Performance-wise, it can run at a 4K resolution with faster frame rates and has widescreen and multi-monitor support.

The open-world Western title released to near-universal acclaim upon launch from players and critics alike. It received high praise for its story, which followed Arthur Morgan and a young John Marston as the outlaws attempt to survive in the Wild West. An online multiplayer mode called Red Dead Online launched in May 2019 and is regularly updated with new content. Set a year prior to Red Dead Redemption 2‘s single-player mode, its story allows four players to join a posse and take on missions together.

GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption remasters reportedly shelved to focus on GTA 6

Rockstar Games has reportedly halted plans to remaster Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption, following the lukewarm reception to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which launched in 2021. Instead, Rockstar will shift its focus to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI -- a game that has been in the works for a while now.

This news first came from reputable GTA insider Tez, who said Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption remasters had been "on the table a few years ago," before Rockstar shelved plans to move forward. This was then independently corroborated by Kotaku, citing sources with knowledge of Rockstar’s plans. According to Kotaku, these two remasters aren't necessarily canceled for good, but Rockstar seems to have shifted most of its focus toward Grand Theft Auto VI for now since the demand for it is so high.

PC Building Simulator 2 is Guitar Hero for nerds
A custom PC in PC Building Simulator 2.

I've been building PCs for most of my life, so PC Building Simulator was never a game I actively sought out. I've played it dozens of times for hours on end, but it was more a social experience -- a game I'd boot up when friends were over to mess around or gawk over expensive graphics cards that we only wish we could afford.

PC Building Simulator 2, now in open beta on the Epic Games Store, isn't any different. It's Guitar Hero for PC enthusiasts, leaning more heavily on being a game than being a tool for learning how to build a PC. As someone who tenses up at too much thermal paste, I expected for PC Building Simulator 2 to disappoint me, but it didn't -- despite some gamified elements getting in the way of actually building a PC.
