At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

Red Dead Redemption has been one of the biggest and second most successful Rockstar Games franchises, selling over 65 million units worldwide.

While Red Dead Redemption has been a great success on consoles, PC fans have been waiting for years to enjoy the title. Recent reports have suggested that a PC port is on the way, and now this appears to be more than true. 

A new Rockstar Games Launcher update suggests that Rockstar is gearing up to announce the PC port of Red Dead Redemption.

Why it matters: Although the game is already playable on PC through emulation, fans have waited for the longest time to enjoy the native port.

Just recently, it was noted that a new Rockstar Games Launcher update revealed more plans for the release of Red Dead Redemption on PC.

A new config folder can be found under the Windows documents, which contain many folders, including one for the Red Dead Redemption. However, it has also been suggested that Rockstar has reverted the changes, and the folders can no longer be found in your documents if you update the launcher.

Therefore, it’s likely that the developers are planning to announce the PC port of Red Dead Redemption at the upcoming earnings call. 

However, taking this news with a grain of salt is still best. These are just speculations, and while an official announcement is inevitable, it is not confirmed when Rockstar Games plans to make it. 

Nonetheless, PC fans will finally have their hands on Red Dead Redemption sooner or later. A remastered version of the title has also been rumoured to be in the works, so the coming months will be interesting for franchise fans.
