A Red Dead Redemption PC port is seemingly, actually happening and it was leaked by none other than original developer Rockstar Games themselves.
The news of a comes from the game’s PlayStation Store page, specifically its PS4 port that launched back in August 2013 alongside a Nintendo Switch port.
Rockstar Games randomly updated the game’s PS4 store page tonight to add flavor text that would likely be on the unannounced Red Dead Redemption PC port, like so:
Experience the epic western adventures that defined a generation — now on PC for the first time ever.
When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is forced to hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends. Experience Marston’s journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico as he fights to bury his blood-stained past in the critically acclaimed predecessor to the 2018 blockbuster, Red Dead Redemption 2. Also included is Undead Nightmare, the iconic horror story that transforms the world of Red Dead Redemption into an apocalyptic fight for survival against a zombie horde.
Featuring the complete single-player experiences of both games, including bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition, Red Dead Redemption features all of the 2023 console version upgrades plus PC specific enhancements including support for increased resolutions and framerates, multiple displays, and other accessories, plus spatial surround sound.
Notice the bits about a Red Dead Redemption PC port boldly listed in this official store page update? While the PC port isn’t confirmed yet it was archived and Rockstar Games quickly noticed the mistake, removing the PC bits and updating its page an hour later.
The original Red Dead Redemption was released way back in May 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and has never been ported to PC. Fans tried to make a native PC port for the game but got shut down by a lawsuit from parent company Take-Two.
It’s possible that Rockstar Games has been contemplating shutting down their own PC launcher and moving their releases to Steam like Bethesda, though it’s been 10+ years since Red Dead Redemption released – fans have been begging for a PC port for over a decade.
