We all suspect that Red Dead Redemption 2 will come to the PC after its console release. I mean, this is what the team did with Grand Theft Auto V and according to the LinkedIn profile of one of its programmers, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also being developed for the PC.
Spotted by VG247, the LinkedIn profile of one of Rockstar’s programmers indicates that there is a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. This programmer has worked on both GTA V and L.A. Noire, so we can all safely say that it’s a solid source for such a leak.
Rockstar has not revealed anything at all about a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Our guess is that the team will reveal it five – or so – months after the game’s console release.
As always, take it with a grain of salt as this could simply be a mere mistake from the programmer’s side and nothing more. However, it won’t make sense at all for Rockstar to avoid bringing its latest title to the PC, especially after the success of GTA V PC.
Stay tuned for more!

here we go again.
After the HUGE financial success of GTAV on pc. R* would be dumb not to bring It on our platform.
They will but why not try to make $120 from PC gamers instead of just $60.
Well yeah if they do it in the form of specia collectoe editions where people get idk a special cowboy hat or a look alike revolve etc etc i don’t mind. But if they try to shove lootboxes and pay for services down our throats that’s another thing. Gotta give it to BFV/DICE/EA for their latest no lootboxes/dlc announcement it sure did soothe the pain from the reveal trailer.
No, I meant what we were discussing above with the way Rockstar does some releases to try to get PC gamers to buy it right away for their console and then a second time later on PC for a superior gaming experience.
Ahhhhh yea i see i didn’t get that from your first post. Yea that’s shady 🙁
Good chance he’s messing around or he wasn’t informed.
Also good chance that there is a PC version but they’ll do the same thing they did with GTA V and wait till the next generation.
They will do the same thing as gta5, RDR2(i would call it 0.5 since its a prequel) is comming in 2019 for ps4/slim/pro and xbox1/s/x. New console versions ps5 and xbox-something are comming in 2020 and remaster of rdr2 will come for them as a release title. 5-6months after ps5&xbox-something release they will finally release the pc version
Rockstar routinely bends its PC fans over in order to sell a 2nd copy of their games (hyped fans buy the console version then double dip on PC later). I think it’s time PC games told them to get bent.
PC Gamers are not a hive mind group and vast majority of people are casual consumers who couldn’t possiby give less of damn, this is proven by the fact that the most played PC games continue to be garbage titles filled with microtransactions and lootboxes.
Oh, we all know it will sell truckloads of copies on all platforms. I’m going to do my best not to be part of the problem though.
You’re so damn right president.
True. Rockstar has become very clever at this marketing mind game. I well remember the doubt and uncertainty surrounding a possible release of GTA V on PC. Most of us knew they would eventually but quite a few thought they wouldn’t and pointed out RDR1 for an example. The ones that doubted a PC release bought it on console right away and even some of the ones that knew Rockstar would eventually release for PC bought it anyway because they couldn’t wait. And a lot of those bought it a second time on PC when it released for the superior gaming experience.
Most likely they will do something similar with RDR2 but perhaps go ahead and let PC gamers know it will release at some point after the console release and still sell the game twice because some PC gamers won’t wait for who knows how long for the PC release.
Take Two learned it. I don’t think RockStar has full input on marketing
lol, who’s going to stop them ?
Fact is, their game is probably going to be a brilliant game, and the PC version will be much better than the console versions.
Also RDR 2 is made by R* North who have ported everything to PC.
Do not buy third-party console exclusives. There is absolutely no reason third-parties should be making console exclusives games in 2018. I can understand first-party games being exclusive to sell consoles but when we have a bigger community of gamers on PC than all consoles combined then there is no excuse that a third-party game should not be on PC. The only reason some of these publishers have been getting away with it is because they know they can make impatient people buy their games twice and some cases 3 times.
i’ll wait a maximum of 3 years(just like i waited for the first red dead redemption) if it doesnt hit pc till then i will get it at a bargain price for ps4
So they release a downgraded version for consoles and after 2 monts they release the full version on pc ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9443c88ed86dafb380305937eece30332c3769f97ba5ec634c1ab74f4c3ad81f.jpg
You are fired… XD
Of course it is. If it wasn’t, R*’s “PC is very important to us” statement would have been debunked completely. They know that if they stopped supporting that platform after GTA V that they would sink future attempts at making money.
lol How many times has a Publisher tried to kiss up to us and then……nothing or very little results?
Maybe they are somewhat sincere now that PC revenue has been number one for a few years and growing every year. Actions speak louder than words Rockstar. So back it up or shut up.
Oh we’ve had it happen before, but R* know how thirsty some people can be on PC and consoles. Just look at the crappy Pirate Warriors 3 port and it’s glowing reviews and praise, despite it costing more for a console port and being objectively inferior to the PS4 version.
Yes they take advantage of pc users with that stupid marketing technique, making it seem like pc is an afterthought. On the other hand, though, we got a VERY solid and thorough pc port for gta V that screamed quality, and I’m taking that over ubisoft’s simultaneous messes any day.
keep dreaming.
rockstar leeds does make pc games. We still dreaming about gta v and final fantasy, no wait we got those.
2018: current-gen console targeted 30fps version; for those willing to be exploited
2019: real deal PC version; for PC gamers & impatient multi-platform gamers to double-dip
2020: pared back port for next-gen consoles to tempt console-only gamers to double-dip
lol That’s probably their exact plan. I guess at the end of the day Rockstar will try to play all of us for fools.
Indeed. Including, perhaps, that of Take Two Interactive releasing the PC version solely on their Rockstar Social Club platform so to avoid paying Steam its cut. To help make that key decision I expect they’ll be monitoring sales of the current-latest CoD on PC given that Activision Blizzard released said game solely on their own platform.
I’m waiting for a sale version anyways – as long as it’s good. Not supporting day one anti-consumer pricing greed.
Well considering they turned gta 5 into a microtransaction riddled pay to win fest (referring to online right now), i doubt ill be buying another rockstar title unless they straighten that out. It was far worse then battlefront 2 and they got almost no hate about it.
-K*kestar
-releasing on PC
doubtfully, i’ll believe it when they officially announce it
