Rockstar Games’ open-world western Red Dead Redemption 2 released to critical acclaim last year, but so far the title has only been available on PS4 and Xbox One leading us to wonder: will we ever see Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC?
Since last year, rumors have been floating around that Red Dead Redemption 2 will come to PC, but there’s been little in the way of solid information about whether a PC release will actually happen. However the evidence is starting to pile up, with the latest hint appearing in Rockstar Games’ Social Club source code.

It may be a single line of code but, paired with previous PC rumors, it suggests that Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC could be on the way. After all, it took Rockstar Games just under a year to port GTA 5 to PC after the game’s release so to estimate that it’ll take Red Dead 2 roughly the same amount of time (if not a tad longer) isn’t out of the question.
But we’ve also seen previous mentions of PC in Red Dead’s code as some savvy data-mining last year contained references to PC-quality graphics settings – shadow quality, grass rendering, and the like – as well as lines explicitly naming PC, such as ‘PARAM_companionAutoConnectIpPC’ or ‘CommandIsPcVersion(void)’.
All signs point to Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC eventually, but whether its sooner rather than later remains to be seen.
