A new datamine suggests thatRed Dead Redemptionis finally coming to PC, 14 years after its original release.
Dataminer and prolific Rockstar community member Tez2 says onTwitterthat “It looks like Rockstar is gearing up to release #RDR1 on PC.” Attached is a screenshot of what seems to be an impending official message saying that “Red Dead Redemption, and its zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, now playable on PC.”
Tez2 addsthat this message is from “Rockstar’s launcher site file. They updated it today and added those strings. Marketing strings. The same way Rockstar promotes GTAV.” There’s no clear indication of when this message might actually go live, but the phrasing certainly suggests Rockstar is gearing up to launch the port soon.
Red Dead Redemption got a pretty disappointing update for PS4 and Switch last year, and the community will certainly be hoping that any PC version will be a more meaningful upgrade. Rockstar’s classics haven’t exactly been getting the treatment they deserve in recent years, most notably in the case of thedisastrous launch of the GTA Trilogy, which has onlypartially been improved in the years that have followed.
Meanwhile,GTA 6aims to continue Rockstar’s pedigree with thebest open-world games.
