Red Dead Redemption PC Release May Be in the Works

A PC release of Red Dead Redemption may have been teased, thanks to an unexpected source. This game’s PlayStation Store listing briefly displayed some extra text mentioning a PC version of the title. [Thanks, @Wario64!]

The change to the Red Dead Redemption listing stated that the game was “now on PC for the first time ever” despite there being no official announcement of this release. This is also notable for being on PSN, despite this not being a PC storefront, and because the PS4 version of the game has been out for almost a year.

While the description was similar to the standard PSN listing for Red Dead Redemption, there were mentions of PC-specific features. These included increased options for greater resolutions and framerates, alternate display options and spatial surround sound. Screenshots have been circulating on social media after the description was first noticed, although this new description has since been reverted back to the original from 2023.

A PC release is highly anticipated for Red Dead Redemption. Despite the game’s critical and commercial success since its initial release in 2010, the game has remained a console exclusive. The game originally released for the PS3 and Xbox 360, with a re-release in 2023 for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Its sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, did release for Steam and the now-defunct Stadia streaming service.

Red Dead Redemption is out now for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. A PC version may be in the works.
