Would we be getting a PC version of RDR2 anytime soon?

Heard there are a few hints about this on a few websites.

Even if they do plan to release it on PC, which I doubt, it will probably be a while after it comes. Rockstar has to milk the consoles first and then, maybe and just maybe, will release on PC.

Let me check my crystal ball

 

[Lionheart]

Be stupid not to come to PC, it will eventually but who knows when, 6 months to a year from now, with RTX support

 

[newtekie1]

Nope. We'll likely never see RDR2 on PC, just like we never saw RDR1 or Revolver on PC.

Never is quite a long time. RDR1 is streamable on pc. It is on playstation now.

You can bet they'll milk every platform. There is absolutely nothing that stops them from bringing RDR2 on PC. They did the same with GTA 5, first on PS3/360, then PS4/Xbox One , then PC.

It's brilliant if you ask me , they maximize the profits this way. They're still pieces of shit for doing it like this though.

I Just been to buy this game from my local sainsburys store for my xbox one x, got there, car park was full, took 20 mins of getting wound up and finally getting a parking space, only to get in the store and realize i forgot to pick up my speed bank card :/ and didn't have no cash on me :/.... just went home ..... now i can't be bothered lol

but back on subject, hmm I'd say there's a good chance it will come to PC at some point.

You should have pullen an American thing and have a rant/rave in the parking lot.

Wouldn't accomplish anything but at least you would have ended up on the internet and develop that internet fame.

The GTA series has always been on PC, eventually. I believe pretty much every version of GTA has come out on PC. The same can't be said for the Red Dead series. None of the games have come to PC. If it was true they were definitely going to "milk every platform" they would have released the older Read Dead games on PC a long time ago.

Yeah, but that is not a PC release.

Maybe. GTAV on PC brought them a lot of money and they know that RDR2 would too. I guess they have to decide if having console exclusives gives more cash in the long run or not.

Although Times change, so here's to hoping (well for you PC gamer's at least) and Microsoft seem to want to push more games to PC, I know it's not a MIcrosoft game but they maybe could have an influence ?

Few realize how well timed these things are. Next gen consoles are around the corner, just how it was back when GTA 5 was released, that's no mistake. This is likely the last big tittle they're going to release for this gen, there is nothing to be gained in the long run.

I'm pretty sure RDR2 isn't going to have an Online mode filled with micro-transactions though.

But you need a console first though, right? So there's not much point to it.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I wouldn't hold my breath for it. None of the previous games were released on PC so there's no reason to believe RDR2 will; however, the hardware similarities between Xbox One and PC may make porting significantly cheaper than previous games. RDR2 also has a multiplayer component. GTAV didn't make a lot of money on PC but GTAO did. The fact RDR2 has multiplayer and most whales play on PC, it may make financial sense for Rockstar to port RDR2 when the exclusivity agreement expires. Like I said, I wouldn't hold my breath for it. It's more likely to happen than previous RDR games but that definitely doesn't make it a certainty.

 

[Steevo]

I hope it does.

All you need is a playstation now subscription. No console involved. All games are streamed. The future is MEOW.

 

[enxo218]

its unlikely since the first installment never came...maybe the petitions will bear fruit, they will definitely crop up given the popularity and posetive reviews

No, you don't need a console at all. That's exactly the point of the service. Play PS games on PC, without a PS.

Looks like you might need a PS4 controller though.

Thanks for the info

Doubt anytime soon. Rockstar is exceedingly over rated. GTAV was a decent although thoroughly average game. But they learned they could release it twice and double dip with an "enhanced" PC/console version. Yes the PC port for GTAV was good, but making a game work isn't exactly something to be proud of but instead expected. They'll throw in a few features and bring it to PC but again, not anytime soon. The PC version will easily sell 1 million copies. Seeing that this is Rockstar, I can expect north of 3 million. If they can increase that to 4 million by double dipping they will do anything to make that possible.

If you want the game now, buy it. If you can wait, I'd say wait 1-2 years. Don't buy twice because it only gives them more incentive to do it again.

 

[Salty_sandwich]

Would if they bought the hypothetical Xbox-PCi-E card (sorry)

Even if it came 2 PC , not sure if those specs in your System Specs tap will be enough 2 run it , u will probably need to do a big upgrade.

They are, but they also are one of the few western good developers, so they get a pass.
