Red Dead Redemption 2 has just been released for Xbox One and PS4 leaving out PC, which is kind of a bummer. The game is absolutely beautiful and I have been listening nothing but praise for the game so far. Just imagine playing the game with 60FPS or more on 4K. It would not be possible with consoles of this generation however, PC would have made this possible with its hardware. There is a hope for a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. The companion app hints at the Red Dead Redemption 2 PC version with unique evidence.
Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Version Hinted in the Companion App
Rockstar did not announce the game for PC but that doesn’t mean they are not polishing the game further as they did with GTA V and release the game after some time for PC. Red Dead Redemption 2 PC version is possible.
Where it all started?
From a PC mention on a Rockstar employees’ LinkedIn to a retailer posting a listing for the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2, rumors have been flying around like crazy and we do not know when the game might make an appearance on the Steam store for PC.
The Companion App Hints
A new concrete rumor has appeared n the internet which is why I’m telling you guys Red Dead Redemption 2 PC will happen. Inside the files of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App, there are several mentions and references to a PC version and multiple settings that would come with it! Have a look by yourself:
