Rumor: Red Dead Redemption Coming To PC According To Microsoft’s Windows Compatibility Center

Red Dead Redemption is perhaps one of the few console games that PC gamers want desperately to experience on their platform. And while Rockstar Games has denied all recent rumors about a PC version being under development, a new rumor arose yesterday suggesting that a DX11 version may be coming in the near future.

According to Microsoft’s Windows Compatibility Center, Red Dead Redemption will be compatible with Windows 8.1 from the get-go. Now while this may be a false listing, I decided to search for some console-only games to see how reliable this source is. Thankfully, there is nothing related to games such as The Last Guardian, Heavy Rain, Halo 4, Forza or Final Fantasy XV. Then again, I couldn’t find anything for the Metal Gear games that have already been released on the PC.

Rockstar officially claimed a while back that a PC version for Red Dead Redemption was out of the question due to the game’s ‘bizarre’ coding techniques that were used.

Later on, rumors suggested that a PC version with additional DX11 effects could be on its way, though Rockstar has not commented on them.

As always, take everything you just read with a grain of salt. Most probably, this is a false listing. Hell, even the game’s title is incorrect.

Enjoy and kudos to NeoGAF for spotting it!

  1. if it’s true then i’m more than happy 😀 it’s ten times better than GTA V imho. actually the best console game of 7th gen.

  2. The “coding” excuse is shit. They brought Bully to PC and it’s on the Rage Engine just like LA Noire, GTA IV and Max Payne 3. They are working on it and GTA V. I bet money they’ll announce at E3.

      1. Probably, heard they were gonna announce GTA V for current gen and pc. I mean, where else would be the most publicized event to reveal the new port of their game. I’d bet they’ll announce Red Dead too

    1. bully was ported to gamebryo for pc, wii and x360. It was never on rage engine it was on another ps2 only engine and la noire wasnt even made by rockstar.

      1. nope. its just a crappy game. it was viraled and liked by the brainless sheep like all rockstar games.

      2. A lot of people don’t like R* games like people don’t like Quentin Tarantino films, doesn’t mean you have bad taste.

        1. It was partly sarcastic comment, I find it strange that someone wouldn’t like it but it’s fine. ”Tested it” and a opinion after that are always little suspicious though.

      3. “Bad” = subjective = a matter of taste

        There is no such thing as “bad taste in games”, in terms of actual information your post basically conveys that you liked the game yourself. Good for you.

  3. I don’t care about this game ,in fact ,i don’t care that much about gta V neither but is good new for those that liked this game ,i mind more about gta V to be honest.

  4. Honestly, f*ck Rockstar and their console biased selling out to Microsoft and Sony tactics. Buy R* games only on Steam sale while they’re cheap or tell them to f*ck entirely for their ways.

    1. Oh woah woah woah woah… Mind your tongue… What if R* employees are watching here? We don’t want to scare them off again, right? They just showed themselves barely… Make them feel welcome!

      1. They’ve already done the damage, so let them read how we really feel. They haven’t told us nothing about GTA 5 for the PC, it’s a sh*tty way to treat their fans and customers who brought their games in the past.

      1. Console users will pay more and more, AAA games have micro transactions as well like Driveclub, GT. Sony finding ways to get their money back by charging £40 a year for PS+, £48 per game, £12 DLC’s, £1 micro transactions per car, £50 for an extra controller.

  5. I wouldn’t buy it even if it does come out on PC. Personally didn’t find this game fun to be honest.
