Despite ongoing speculation and numerous leaks, Rockstar has yet to make an official announcement regarding the release of Red Dead Redemption for PC. However, a recent leak has reignited hopes among fans that a PC version may indeed be in the works.
Hints of a PC Release for Red Dead Redemption
Twitter user TezFunz2 has reported that Rockstar inadvertently included metadata for the original Red Dead Redemption in a recent update of its launcher. This revelation suggests that the long-awaited PC version could be closer to reality than previously thought. Furthermore, indications have emerged that the game has appeared in Steam’s database, hinting at a potential launch on that platform as well.
The rumors surrounding a PC port began when TezFunz2 shared a screenshot purportedly taken from a Rockstar launcher site file, which contained a description of the game. This was not the only source of speculation; additional leaks have surfaced, including one from the Epic Games Store database and a brief mention on PlayStation Network, all pointing towards an imminent PC release.
Originally launched in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Red Dead Redemption has seen modern adaptations with ports to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 earlier this year. Given that its sequel received a PC port in 2019, many fans feel it is high time for the original to follow suit.
In a review by GameSpot, Red Dead Redemption was praised for its captivating narrative and expansive open world, with the publication stating, “This stunning Wild West epic raises the bar for open world action games, and stakes its claim as one of the most engaging games this year.” As anticipation builds, the gaming community eagerly awaits any official word from Rockstar regarding the beloved title’s potential arrival on PC.
