Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC and will be released on November 5, 2019. Rumors of a PC version have been floating around for a while now, but Rockstar and parent company Take-Two executives have been very coy in discussions about it. But we now know it really is on the way (as is a Google Stadia version) and with visual improvements and new content.
Rockstar says the PC version of Red Dead 2 will feature improvements to take advantage of the hardware–“a range of graphical and technical enhancements for increase[d] immersion” will be available if you have a capable PC. Screenshots and system requirements for the PC version will be shared on October 9.
Beyond a better-looking game, there will also be new content in story mode. This will consist of new bounty hunting missions, gang hideouts, weapons, and “more.” Red Dead Online will also be included with all of the content available in the PS4 and Xbox One versions.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Steam Version Coming Later
Red Dead 2 will be available through several different PC retailers, but not Steam, at least initially; it’ll be released there in December. Pre-orders will begin through the Rockstar Games Launcher on October 9 and will include special bonuses if you purchase by October 22.

Not long after debuting the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC, the company will now have a major game to help push it. While it will not be exclusive to the launcher, it is the place where you’ll find the most robust array of pre-order bonuses.
In addition to the free game you can already get by installing the launcher, pre-ordering Red Dead Redemption 2 will net you two free games from the following list:
- Grand Theft Auto III
Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar’s previous release, was also made available on PC well after the initial console launch. Its accompanying multiplayer game, GTA Online, has been incredibly lucrative and both Rockstar and Take-Two will no doubt be hoping Red Dead Online performs similarly.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped over 24 million copies, making it one of the most commercially successful games in history. Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are also two of the best selling PS4 games of this generation, according to NPD. GameSpot’s Red Dead Redemption 2 review praised it as an “excellent prequel” with an “emotional, thought-provoking story.”
