Rockstar Games fans who don't traffic in game consoles have been waiting over 5,200 days to play the original Red Dead Redemption on PC (even as the PC port of its sequel approaches its fifth anniversary). PC gamers' long wait for a port may soon be over, though, as some promotional copy for the PC version of the game has been briefly leaked online.
The suggestive verbiage comes from the PlayStation Store of all places, which as of Tuesday morning described Red Dead Redemption as "now on PC for the first time ever" on the page for the game's 2023 PS4 rerelease. While the language has now been reverted to a more generic description, archived copies of the site from just hours ago include some details of what we can expect of the jump from console to PC:
Featuring the complete single-player experience of both games [RDR and Undead Nightmare, from previous context], including bonus content from the Game of the Year edition, Red Dead Redemption features all of the 2023 console version upgrades plus PC specific enhancements including support for increased resolutions, multiple displays, and other accessories, plus spatial surround sound.
Red Dead Redemption does not feature multiplayer content.
