Report: Red Dead Redemption PC Release Seemingly Confirmed by Rockstar Launcher
After years of begging and a mediocre PS5/Nintendo Switch port, it looks like the fabled Red Dead Redemption PC release may finally be coming to fruition. According to the metadata of Rockstar’s launcher, the team is planning to bring the cowboy epic and its apocalyptic expansion Undead Nightmare to PC sometime in the not-too-distant future.

The tweet shows some metadata with a brief description that reads as follows:
“Journey across the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico in Red Dead Redemption, and its zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare[,] now playable on PC. Experience the epic Western adventures that defined a generation.”
According to Tez2, this comes from Rockstar’s launcher site file, which was just updated today. The string of text here is formatted exactly how GTA V’s description is on the back end. All of this considered, signs definitely point to Rockstar gearing up for a Red Dead Redemption PC launch.
Red Dead Redemption has long been considered one of PC’s white whales. Fans of Rockstar’s titles have wanted to experience the game on a mouse and keyboard for over a decade at this point. After so much time, it seems nearly impossible that Rockstar would still be working to port the game to computers, but here we are.
As always, this has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar yet, so exercise cautious optimism here. We’ll be sure to let our readers know as soon as we get the word that the PC version is real. Stay tuned.
