Hopefully this means that we’ll eventually get a PC port of the original Red Dead Redemption as well, but for now, we’ll just be happy that the franchise is appearing on PC in any capacity. It won’t be long before we learn more about the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2, as Rockstar says it will share some screenshots from it on October 9th. The bonuses for pre-ordering through anywhere else only amount to 25 Gold Bars, so that really stresses Rockstar’s preference for its own platform. Rockstar will also hand out in-game items to those who pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 through its launcher, including the Outlaw Survival Kit, War Horse, Treasure Map, and Cash Bonus (all of which are for story mode), along with 50 Gold Bars for use in Red Dead Online.
“Pre-purchases made on the Rockstar Games Launcher also include free upgrades to the Premium Editions of Red Dead Redemption 2, with both the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition discounted by $20 each,” Rockstar explains in a blog post on its website.
It’s worth pointing out that those who download the Rockstar Games Launcher by Tuesday, October 8th automatically get a free copy of GTA: San Andreas, so you could potentially get three additional games by downloading the launcher and pre-ordering RDR 2 through it. Those who pre-order the game through October 22nd on the Rockstar Games Launcher will get to pick two free PC titles from a list that includes GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Bully: Scholarship Edition, LA Noire: The Complete Edition, and Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition.
Happily, Steam users won’t need to wait six months or a year – it’ll instead go live on Steam in December, but Rockstar didn’t give a specific release date in its announcement today.ĭespite the fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 is launching on a variety of digital distribution services, Rockstar really wants you to pre-order through its own game launcher.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is still coming to Steam, but it’ll be launching there later than it will be on other platforms. You might notice a glaring omission from that list of platforms, as Steam isn’t present on it. With the GTA remaster being real, this one wouldnt surprise me.
Last time was a guy who admitted he made the whole thing up to show Rockstar the interest was there. You can check out the video below, where Rockstar Mag talks about the remaster. The Red Dead Remaster has been mentioned before. Rockstar Mag is a pretty reputable source when it comes to news pertaining to anything Rockstar. Pre-purchases made on the Rockstar Games Launcher also include free upgrades to the Premium Editions of Red Dead Redemption 2, with both the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition discounted by $20 each.RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is coming to PC November 5th /8jg8WeVvQ8 According to Rockstar Mag, Rockstar is currently working on developing a remaster for the popular Red Dead Redemption game. Pre-purchases for Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC begin at 11AM ET on October 9th exclusively on the Rockstar Games Launcher through October 22nd, with a limited time offer during this period of two free Rockstar Games PC titles from the following: Google Stadia is also getting Red Dead Redemption 2 when it launches. Rockstar says it’ll be available on the Epic Games Store (!), Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, and other retailers starting October 23: the Steam edition is coming later in December. The games vast and atmospheric world also provides the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience. You can find a list of those games below. Pre-orders will go live on October 9 at 11AM ET on the platform through October 22, at which point you’ll be able to grab it in exchange for a two-game bonus (for the same launcher). We also know what the new Rockstar Games Launcher was really for, as the publisher is giving folks an extra deal if you buy it first-hand.
So what do you get besides open access to mods galore? Rockstar explains it best: “a range of graphical and technical enhancements for increased immersion along with new Bounty Hunting Missions, Gang Hideouts, Weapons and more.” This comes after droves of rumors, leaks, and ratings board classifications for the port, and it looks like Rockstar wanted to make sure everything was taken care of under the hood before the port actually arrived. Very soon! Rockstar has officially unveiled the release date for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, and it’s November 5. Well, they’re not stupid, as it’s coming soon. Given how much total bank Rockstar makes with Grand Theft Auto Online to this day on PC, they’d be stupid to not port Red Dead Redemption 2 to the platform eventually.
