The oft-rumoured, much hoped-for Red Dead Redemption 2 PC has officially been announced, and will be hitting the platform on November 5.
As expected when the company released its own launcher, the thing was in preparation for Red Dead Redemption 2, which will be available on Rockstar’s on launcher next month. Pre-orders for the game open there on October 9. It will, however, also be coming to other digital PC stores with pre-orders coming to the Epic Games Store, Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, GameStop, and “additional digital retailers” later. Steam users will have to wait until December, possibly signifying that big publishers have had enough of Steam’s 30% cut.
Rockstar is incentivising pre-orders by allowing those who do to pick two free games from its back catalogue from Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Bully: Scholarship Edition, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition, and Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition.
According to Rockstar, the PC version will feature “a range of graphical and technical enhancements for increased immersion along with new Bounty Hunting Missions, Gang Hideouts, Weapons and more.”
Now I may actually play it. I despised the game on console, party for its weird input lag, and also because the actual meat of the game was such a boring slog. Hopefully, a PC version means mods, which can remove much of the busywork. That said, many people adore the game, with our own Darryn giving it a glowing review:
“Red Dead Redemption 2 is a story of endings and new beginnings, of the birth of legends and the consequences that come with creating a myth. It’s all wrapped up in an immaculate presentation, told over dozens of hours and adventures that leads to an inevitable conclusion: Red Dead Redemption 2 raises the bar for the sandbox genre and stands tall as the definitive western game of this or any other generation.”

When I found this out, I immediately downloaded the Rockstar Store program, and realised I had forgotten my login password. So, I chose to reset my password, and guess what? The password reset e-mail I got was in Russian! Guess whose account has been compromised!!!!!!!!

A few months back when I reinstalled GTA V this same thing happened to me. Now I’m very suspect to trust Rockstar with anything.

Try this one on for size. My account doesn’t even exist anymore. When i wanted to log in Rockstar said that my email account does not even have a GTA V game linked to it. So i had to rebuy the game in order to play it again.

Because it’s a physical copy and the key was registered to that email they can’t help me. Since there’s no actual email linked to that key but the key shows its activated on their side (hell knows how they know that) they can’t help me at all. 10/10 Rockstar.

The only alternative then to get RDR2 would be Epic. Steam is only getting the game a month later.
