After over a decade of waiting, the original Red Dead Redemption may be finally coming to PC. The last time fans got excited about this possibility was back in 2023 when fans caught wind of a number of subtle moves made by Rockstar, including an updated age rating for RDR1 in Korea and source code updates to the official Rockstar website.
The community was sure this was it, but all it turned out to be was the announcement of neither a remake nor a remaster for PC, but a simple port of the game to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Needless to say, fans were infuriated by the news.
Fans drew their own conclusions from last year’s hints, but a new development this week is the most concrete news on the RDR1 PC front we’ve seen yet. Well known Rockstar dataminer Tez2 uncovered text in Rockstar’s own launcher site file reading, “Red Dead Redemption, and its zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, now playable on PC.”

It’s been 14 years in the making, but this time it looks like Red Dead Redemption may actually make it to PC. The question now is when? Personally? I’m hoping it’s soon so that we can get started on the “We got Red Dead Redemption on PC before GTA 6” memes.
