After numerous hints and red herrings throughout the last year, Rockstar has confirmed the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC, arriving November 5 on the Rockstar Games Launcher.
Announced via Twitter, Rockstar's latest Wild West outing first released on PS4 and Xbox One last year. This November, however, PC players will join in.

There were some hints along the way of this announcement, most recently the Rockstar Games Launcher client launching for that platform. According to the official Rockstar site, Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, "features a range of graphical and technical enhancements for increased immersion along with new Bounty Hunting Missions, Gang Hideouts, Weapons and more."
When it released for PC, GTA V boasted similar graphical features and robust support for PC players for various inputs, fine control, and more, so a similar treatment for Red Dead Redemption 2 should not be out of the ordinary.
