PC is the only modern gaming platform without any legitimate way of playing the original Red Dead Redemption.

Rockstar Games seems to be working on bringing the original Red Dead Redemption to PC. Spotted by X user Tez2, the files in a recent update of Rockstar’s game launcher contains strings that indicate that Red Dead Redemption is coming to PC.

“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,” reportedly reads the marketing blurb spotted in the files.

It is important to note that this is just a rumour and shouldn’t be taken at face value. Rockstar itself is yet to make any statement or announcement regarding Red Dead Redemption on PC. It is also worth noting that PC is the only modern platform where Red Dead Redemption isn’t playable, having been released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch back in August 2023, and being available through backwards compatibility on Xbox for quite some time.

Red Dead Redemption takes place after the events of its sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, and puts players in the shoes of John Marston who has been tasked with taking down members of his former gang.
