Last October, the original Red Dead Redemption was ported to the PS5. Other than offering the ability to enable 60fps, it wasn’t really much to write home about. What fans actually want is for Rockstar to release the 14-year-old game onto PC. So far nothing, but it could be happening soon.
That’s according to Tez2, a user who, by their own definition, monitors the gaming world, “mostly regarding Rockstar Games titles.” Their latest datamine strongly suggests that Red Dead Redemption could finally be coming to the PC.
The image uploaded with the Twitter/X post shows some text that simply reads: “Journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico in Red Dead Redemption, and its zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, now playable on PC.”
Do we need any more hints?
Suffice it to say, what Tez2 has unearthed, which they say was lifted from the Rockstar launcher, pretty much spells it out in black-and-white. Or orange, in this case. If what we see is based on truth, then RDR might actually make it to PC at some point.
To ensure I tick the “journalistic due diligence” box (for such a thing exists…I imagine), it needs to be said that this is only speculation at this stage. However convincing the leak is, we can’t make any concrete claims about a PC port until Rockstar or any other official representative of the game can confirm or deny this information.
Even if it does happen, it’s unclear whether it’ll even be a remaster of the 2010 release. There have been upscaled versions of RDR for console in the past, but as the PS5 and Switch releases have shown, chances are it could just be a straight port. We’ll have to wait and see what Rockstar has in store.
