It's Official: 'Red Dead Redemption 2' For PC Is Happening

Finally, Red Dead Redemption 2 is making its way to the PC.

It's safe to say that fans of the game have been waiting for a long time for this, so much so that some dataminers even got to work in search for any sign of a PC release through line after line of code in the past, which they successfully did. Rockstar Games wouldn't confirm it back then, but now it's official, and there's no doubt that it's really happening.

Red Dead Redemption 2 For PC Release Date

The company made the announcement in a blog post, saying that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC on Nov. 5.

It also mentions that it's improving the game's graphics and other technical aspects for the platform. On top of that, it's adding a couple of new Bounty Hunting missions, Gang Hideouts, and weapons, among other things, and giving players free access to Red Dead Online.
