*Red Dead Redemption* was originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010 and was later ported to PS4 and Nintendo Switch last year, with only minimal upgrades. However, a PC version, which fans have long requested, was notably absent. Now, nearly 15 years after its debut, it seems the Rockstar Games classic may finally be making its way to PC, as a reference to a PC release has surfaced on PlayStation Network.
Industry tipster Wario64 discovered this reference on the PlayStation Store, where the “Game and Legal Info” section mentions that *Red Dead Redemption* is “now on PC for the first time ever.” Wario64 shared a screenshot of the listing on social media platform X, highlighting the teaser for the PC release. The listing promotes the game’s epic western adventures, emphasizing that this is the first time it will be available on PC.
Additionally, the store page outlines potential PC-specific enhancements, such as higher resolutions, increased frame rates, support for multiple monitors, and more. The listing also mentions the inclusion of content from the *Game of the Year Edition* and features like spatial surround sound.
Interestingly, the listing gives a release date of August 17, 2023—the same as the launch for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions—and lists PS4 as the platform. This raises the possibility that the PC mention may have been an error. However, the detailed PC-related features suggest that a PC release could be on the horizon, even though Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed it yet.
The 2023 port of *Red Dead Redemption*, developed by Double Eleven Studios, came with support for 1080p resolution on the Switch and PS4, and up to 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro and PS5 (via backward compatibility). However, it lacked major upgrades and was locked at 30 fps on both Switch and PS4 at launch. The game also did not include the multiplayer mode. A patch released in October 2023 for PS5 added support for 60 fps.
Currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, *Red Dead Redemption* follows the story of former outlaw John Marston, who is blackmailed by the government to track down members of his old gang. Widely regarded as one of the greatest video games ever made, the game also received a prequel, *Red Dead Redemption 2*, in 2018.
