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. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a 2018 action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games.The game is the third entry in the Red Dead series and is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption.The story is set in 1899 in a fictionalized representation of the Western, Midwestern, and Southern United States and follows outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang. You might notice a glaring omission from that list of platforms, as Steam isn’t present on it. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is coming to PC November 5th /8jg8WeVvQ8
