Weve had another tantalizing hint that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be coming to the PC after some enterprising soul rifled through the guts of the games companion app and found references to a PC version.Rockstar Intel highlighted this particular bit of detective work, peeking inside the files of the Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app and spotting several references to a PC version and related settings.
These include the following bits of technical jargon:PARAM_companionAutoConnectIpPCPARAM_OculusCommandIsPcVersion(void) 000000000166A12CSo yes, theres also a mention of Oculus in here, pointing towards potential VR excitement.
Various other references to graphics details that could pertain to a PC port are also abound.Of course, wed be foolish to jump to conclusions based on a few mentions of PC here and there in the app.
And, its true that in places there are other references to a PC version of the companion app for desktop computers, for example a mention of a sign-in for the PC_app.Which could mean that all these references simply point to a PC version of the companion app, rather than an actual full-blown port of the game for the platform.
Although equally, it could be the case that both of the above are in the pipeline.Hopeful hintsWe can but remain hopeful for a PC incarnation of Red Dead Redemption 2, and weve certainly seen a number of hints that it is indeed in the cards from the LinkedIn profile of a programmer who previously worked at Rockstar showing that hed been working on a PC port of the game, to a leaked retail listing suggesting a 2019 launch.So, Rockstar might move faster than it did with Grand Theft Auto V, which eventually came to the PC after its console release.Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One just a few short days ago, on October 26.Via PC Gamer
