Red Dead Redemption 2, the open-world Wild West gam, that debuted for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One back in October last year, is finally making its way to PC.

It is touted to come with a series of graphical and technical enhancements.

The PC title will also be available for purchase through Steam in December.
