No plans for PC Red Dead Redemption

By Ellie Gibson Published 11 June, 2010

Not right now anyway, says Rockstar.

Rockstar Games has ruled out the possibility of Red Dead Redemption coming to PC - for the time being, at least.

"As of now, there are no current plans to bring Red Dead Redemption to the PC platform," reads a statement on RockstarGames.com. "If that should change, we will let you know."

And it could change, of course - Rockstar's previously brought the likes of GTA over to consoles some time after the original release. Breath-holding probably not advisable, though.

    I'm sure they will eventually, there's really no reason not to.

    I was considering on buying it, thought it was out for PC. Now I'm a little bit disappointed :(

    of course they will, just a matter of time I reckon

    They want people to actually buy it rather than pirate it then complain when it doesn't work on their setup?

  • FooAtari #8 2 years ago

    @LHH and kinky

    Stop trolling. Plenty people buy PC games.


    Anyway I bought this on 360 the other day and was surprised how great it looked. A proper PC port would probably look pretty stunning. Hope we get one at some point.

  • Edawan #12 2 years ago

    Red Dead Revolver wasn't released on the PC, so I wouldn't hold my breath for this one.

  • Darren #13 2 years ago

    I guess Rockstar must be working extra hard to get anti-aliasing working on the PC version of their DirectX 9 engine and as soon as they have the done then they'll announce Red Dead Redemption. Or maybe someone should tell them about DirectX 10/11! ;)

    Seriously though, I'd be very surprised if Red Dead Redemption doesn't come out at some point on the PC and I was kind of hoping it would be this year in time for Christmas. The game is astoundingly good on the Xbox 360 but I'd love to replay it on the PC with all the eye candy cranked up.

    GTA IV was a bit of a mess on the PC in all honesty though, initially shipping with possibly the worst installation EVER which required you to log into both the Rockstar Social Club and Games for Windows LIVE (plus Steam if you bought that version!). Then when you got into the game you found the graphics settings were limited to how much video memory you had and if you ignoring the warnings then the game ran appallingly. The nail in the coffin as far as the visuals were concerned was the complete absence of anti-aliasing, something even the Xbox 360 had! The game required a ridiculous high-spec too, including a quad-core processor, to get a decent framerate out of it. One can only hope that if RDR does come to the PC that Rockstar will have learnt their lessons from PC GTA IV.

  • n30n666 #14 2 years ago

    If it will be GTAIV quality port i think i will pass.

  • Darren #15 2 years ago

    @menage - Depth in what sense? :?

    Red Dead Redemption is a sandbox game and has as much variety and depth as any other game in that genre, possibly a little more than most IMO, what with the Honour/Fame system, etc. I've been playing it almost right to the end without ever getting bored, something that few games of this type have managed and I really don't want it to end, a sure sign of a great game in my eyes.

    I'm not really sure what it is you were expecting from the game. As far as Wild West games go this is perhaps the finest example to date, certainly the one that gets the atmosphere absolutely spot on, the location feels totally believable and includes just about everything you'd expect except for massive cowboy and indian shootouts. There's even an apparently decent multiplayer mode if that's you're thing to add longevity to what was already a complete package. Compared with middling efforts like GUN and Call of Juarez, RDR is downright perfect IMO.

  • Dolly #16 2 years ago

    The sad truth is, if they ported to PC now then they would lose sales. Why would a gamer with both options pay for the 360 version, when he can download the cracked PC version for free? I can see delays to PC versions getting even more spread out to combat piracy in this way.

  • CaptainQuint #17 2 years ago

    Probably for the best. The endlessly whiny pc crowd would've only moaned all the interwebs about the inevitable and "shit" port.

  • shadowaspect #18 2 years ago

    @Dolly, um maybe because some people actually pay for the PC version? Are you saying that if you had the option you'd go with the pirated version? Nice.

  • Dolly #21 2 years ago

    Shadowaspect, I certainly do not pirate games, nor condone piracy. Unfortunately I was just addressing the sad reality of PC gaming these days, in that the majority of PC gamers seem to just play pirated games now rather than pay for them. I was pointing out, that I can see delayed ports coming out later and later to combat this trend. I do realise that they will lose some legitimate sales from PC owners that do buy their games still, but I feel that ultimately they are starting to realise that this does not compensate for the sales lost on pirated or console versions that might otherwise have been bought. You tool.

  • Darren #22 2 years ago

    @Dolly - Well then perhaps publishers should go back to releasing PC games at the same time as the console versions instead. I really don't see why publishers delay the PC versions anyway, if people are going to pirate it then they'll do so whenever it comes out. I don't see how the PC version would affect sales of the console versions either as publishers seem to think they do. By delaying PC games months after the console versions I believe it hurts sales more because the hype will have died down along with all the advertising and people will have moved on to the next big thing.

  • cianchristopher #23 2 years ago

    "Higher resolution, better framerate, better draw distance, more features? I won't pass, even though I am enjoying the PS3 version."

    Ah, I see, you're talking about the Xbox 360 version, aren't ya?

  • bad09 #24 2 years ago

    It will happen Rockstar you know it, I know it, It's just a case of when. Considering how lovely the GTAs (yes including 4!) are on PC I think I will be patient and wait plenty to keep me occupied for 6 months or so (isn't that how long before GTA4 was announced?).

    No I will wait and at the end of the day if after a year you have 100% snubbed my PC RDR will be dirt cheap 2nd hand on a console, but don't make me do that I love your games R* and like giving you money you awesome people you! :)

    Did you play it? On non supercomputer from nasa that is? GTA with med textures 20 fps or Just Cause 2 with all max and 70 fps. I think ill stick to JC2 for time being. Getting new i7 system in few days maybe ill average 30fps and i will be able to play it for more than 10 minutes.

  • mkreku #35 2 years ago

    I run GTA4 on a Core i7 and a Radeon 5870 and I'm averaging 60-80 fps at 1920x1080 with everything on high and a pretty decent view distance (at 50 or so). But the weird thing is that the game is not silky smooth anyhow! It's still a bit jerky, non-related to the framerate. I have no idea what it is or where it's coming from, but it's definitely there, most noticeable when you're driving fast on a straight road.

    Oh and I WILL hold my breath until Read Dead Redemption comes out on PC! Starting now!!... *hhhhggggnnn*

  • dingo75 #36 2 years ago

    @Darren:
    Well then perhaps publishers should go back to releasing PC games at the same time as the console versions instead.

    In an interview with a German game magazine a Microsoft suit once said that they don't want to see parallel releases of the Xbox 360 version and the PC version in Germany because that way the Xbox version would lose out.

    At least in Germany the PC still is more popular than the Xbox 360 and Microsoft hopes to "convert" PC gamer like myself byy delaying PC ports or not doing them at all.

    Granted that might by a special case since we still have a huge PC gaming scene here.

    @Dolly - I am an avid PC gamer as well as playing consoles. I much prefer a genuine copy and do not download illegally. They also would not "lose" sales so to speak, they would still sell many copies just a few less than would have done had piracy not been possible. I agree Piracy is an issue but it is not anywhere near as bad as the Media would have you believe (music and game sales etc continue to increase). Crickey, if you believed the media & media companies in particular than we are ALL pirates, including those old couples with no PC knowhow and people who dont even have computers. There have been and continue to be many many instances where innocent people are being accused of such things. This only hlights that the information that these companies are obtaining and using is flawed what makes you think that when they say they sold 10 copies of modern warfare on PC but 5 gazillion were downloaded illegally in a week that this is correct. It simply isnt.

  • oceanclub #43 2 years ago

    I have a PC and an XBox 360 and always buy games for PC over XBOx (_buy_, not download) - I have about 180 games on PC (130ish on Steam, 50 boxed) and about, oh, 3 XBox games (I mainly use it for media streaming). I just prefer having mouse control, being able to alt-tab out of games to check the web, the ability to mod the game, not having to hog the TV on my wife, etc. There's many reasons that people opt for PC over the console that have nothing to do with piracy.

    Like Fable 2, I'll just wait until I'm absolutely certain there's no PC version of RDR and pick up (at that stage, it'll be cheap/second hand as well).

  • craziii #44 2 years ago

    I got too many games that I am looking forward to on the pc to care about this :()

  • kangarootoo #45 2 years ago

    I am slightly confused as to why every post suggesting piracy is a factor is getting negative votes. That was the first thought that popped into my head too.

    A PC port costs money to do. RockStar will have looked at the cost, looked at predicted sales, and decided its not worth it. Those predicted sales will be affected by the piracy rate on the PC platform.

    None of that is trolling. Its just information.

    And its got nothing to do with what "the media" might have you believe regarding piracy, it does though have everything to do with what Rockstar believe. We KNOW Rockstar have said they aren't doing a PC version, and I believe them.

    I'm seeing a lot of posts saying "piracy isn't that bad on the PC", and maybe those posts are right. But I've yet to see a post supposing why Rockstar have made this decision, if not because of low expected sales. Its easy of course for a rabid poster to just assume Rockstar are fools who have made a mistake, but their record suggests they know exactly what they are doing.

  • Subquest #46 2 years ago

    well shiiiiit. I'm yet another pc gamer who pays for all my games (usually snap purchases via steam), I game on 2 pcs and even my middling laptop runs most new games smoothly at 1600 x 900. I'm sure RDR will eventually come to PC, but as with the case of Assassins Creed 2, I'll have already had my fill on 360 by the time it comes round. It's a real shame, we all know how much difference the PC can make (batman, just cause 2 etc) especially at this stage in the console lifecycle. Sort it out R* you c*nts!

  • sneetch #47 2 years ago

    @kangarootoo
    But I've yet to see a post supposing why Rockstar have made this decision, if not because of low expected sales.

    Not disregarding the obvious piracy problem but one possible reason is that the people who wrote Red Dead Redemption at Rockstar San Diego have zero experience developing for PC. They have never produced a PC version of any of their games (to my knowledge) and although coding for the 360 is allegedly similar to the PC they're certainly not the same. They may have to get someone else to port it, another Rockstar unit or a third party, either way that'll take time.

    As for piracy rates on PC I don't know, I believe no-one can accurately give us the lost sales due to piracy and it's certainly one of the reasons why PC games are increasingly being delayed but increased profit from consoles due to higher RRP and "exclusivity" deals with the console manufacturers (especially Microsoft) also factor in.

    One reason for reduced sales on PC is that PC gamers often have consoles too: I've bought Red Dead and a lot of other games either on PS3 or Xbox rather than wait months for a PC release (or announcement) if and when a port of this is announced I sure won't be interested in it but if it had come out at the same time I'd have bought it on PC. So one "lost" PC sale. I'm not the only one I bet and those "lost" PC sales makes the piracy look worse.

    Perhaps because we're not all complete and utter thieving bastards? We have the option to pirate games (both PC and Xbox), I have chosen not to, so have millions of others. We also have the option of breaking into HMV or GAME and stealing a copy of the game, I chose not to do that either. I am a (mostly ;) ) law abiding citizen who does not steal from or otherwise deprive or defraud others simply because I can.

    No they haven't. They have just said they have no plans, at the moment. Which is about as vague an answer as you could give.

    And the posts made by LHH and Kinky were trolling, they may as well have said "all PC gamers steal their games". Their was no informed opinion or sensible argument

    Of course piracy is an issue, it's an issue on the 360 too you know, and ever increasing one as it has become easier to do. But no one really knows the extent of the issue. There is clearly a big market out there for PC games. Steam is thriving. And until we start to see digitally distributed games counted in sales figures there is no way of knowing how well PC games are selling. You can't base it on the likes of ChartTrack or NPD who only include boxed off the shelf sales.

    I think it was more a comment on his poor phrasing. He said "as of now, there are no current plans" which is the same as saying "currently, there are no current plans". The "as of now" is redundant if you're talking about "current plans". Or at least that's what made me grit my teeth when I read it.

    No one is saying that you PERSONALLY are a pirate. Chill the fuck out. Not everything on the internet someone writes is aimed at YOU directly, paranoia boy.
    The truth is, that it is far easier to just download and play a pirated game on the PC. I'm sorry, but that is a fact. I do realise that you can also pirate 360 games, but it is more time consuming (flashing the 360, burning the discs, making sure that the rip it is patched to pass the authorisation checks on the console) and generally riskier due to the risk of having the console permantently banned from Live. The PS3 has yet to be hacked also, so if I was developing a game myself and wanted healthy initial sales, unfortunately I would consider not putting it straight out as a PC game as well. PC gaming is great, I have been playing PC games for over 20 years myself, but unfortunately a large amount of people have runied it for others with the piracy scene, and publishers are scared not only of losing their revenue, but also their jobs in this day and age if games do not sell strongly :(

  • kangarootoo #53 2 years ago

    @sneetch

    I figured that as the 360 was the primary platform, a PC port wouldn't be that challenging. And also, even if no-one in house could do it, outsourcing could be arranged (which all boils down to cost again, though quality can be a factor if its not well managed, and the quality of GTAIV on PC seems to be in question).

    I think you make a strong point about PC gamers also buying on console. Maybe they (rightly?) figure that its a case of "launch all platforms together, or not at all". With the game being so highly anticipated, a great number of gamers will indeed have already bought a console copy (even if that wouldn't otherwise be their first preference).


    @FooAtari

    "No they haven't. They have just said they have no plans, at the moment. Which is about as vague an answer as you could give."

    Well fair enough, never say never. But game development takes time, and if there are no current plans, you won't be seeing a PC version anytime this side of 6 months. As sneetch suggests above, after such a long wait how many fans will have just caved and bought a console version?


    "Of course piracy is an issue, it's an issue on the 360 too you know, and ever increasing one as it has become easier to do"

    This is also true, but its nowhere near as prevelant. My mum could pirate a game or film on a PC, as all you need to really do it "find it" and then "get it". Piracy on the 360, easy as it might be compared to a year or two ago, is still not in the same ballpark.

    I don't need to "chill the fuck out" as I'm not worked up over this. Reading back on my post I see why you might think I was.

    However, you did ask a question: "Why would a gamer with both options pay for the 360 version, when he can download the cracked PC version for free?" I can only really answer for myself and I did (although I do believe that many others feel the same way). Why ask a question and then get defensive and accuse someone of paranoia when they answer?

    "but unfortunately a large amount of people have runied it for others with the piracy scene, and publishers are scared not only of losing their revenue, but also their jobs in this day and age if games do not sell strongly :( "

    If games on PC made no money due to piracy I'd agree with that but good games get good sales and make good money even with all us evil PC gamers apparently pirating absolutely everything ever, just ask Valve who care not about piracy in the first place, or EA/Bioware who were very happy with huge PC DA:o and ME2 sales, SEGA another one very happy with their PC side of things or even Activison with MW2 in the Steam top sellers since launch.

    If they all treated us just a little better and stopped the constant delays, leaving us in the dark on if we will even get a game, DRMs or shoddy ports in the name of supposedly saving "lost sales" they might even get more sales, crazy I know....

  • kangarootoo #58 2 years ago

    @bad09

    "just ask Valve who care not about piracy in the first place"
    This is the same Valve that invested heavily in a secure delivery system in the form of Steam?

    "EA/Bioware who were very happy with huge PC DA:o and ME2 sales"
    The same EA/Bioware who invested in Cerberus network and "project ten dollar", to combat piracy and second hand sales?

    "or even Activison with MW2 in the Steam top sellers since launch"
    Well, Activision probably have Valve to thank for the anti-piracy platform that is Steam.


    Regardless, its not about making "no money". If all you make is "some money", you could still be operating at a loss (just ask Activision and EA). At best you might be breaking even. What you want to do is make the maximum amount of money for your investment.

    Whether PC development offers a better return than console development is really the question at the root of all these discussions. Why make "some money" developing PC games, when you can make "more money" developing for consoles?

    Well all the DLC was hacked I believe so pirates could play the game anyway without the network so whether Cerebus helped or not we can't tell.

    Steam is very easy to hack I've read and Steamworks games are on torrents, I believe MW2 was the top pirated game to boot. :)

  • kangarootoo #60 2 years ago

    Ah, didn't realise all that stuff was hacked. I'm well behind the curve :)

    Though I guess it was hacked on the PC platform, not on consoles. And I bet Valve et al care very much about that.

  • bad09 #61 2 years ago

    @kangarootoo

    Well I'm not sure about the consoles TBH, it probably was though we see 360 versions hit torrents before PC now!

  • Chufty #62 2 years ago

    PC versions of Rockstar games are always shit anyway. It's not great loss.

  • smelly #63 2 years ago

    The sad fact is, sales figures of pc games compared to console games are never significant enough to justify the time and expense to make said pc version and all the compatibility problems. Then (as some people rightly point out) there's the issue of piracy where people will (like it or not) download the free pc copy over buying the console version.

    It makes sense from a financial point of view for publishers to release pc versions a few months down the line after all the initial console sales are done.. Then get the handful of pc gamers who actually buy games later.

    (and yes - except for extreme examples - sims/mw/etc - like it or not, pc games sales figures are insignificant in comparison to console versions)

    No point in making games for PC these days when sales on consoles are so good, who would want to release pc games when every one pirates them, pc gaming is on its way out, bye!

    PC Gaming, apparently dying since 1995.

    I give them 6 months. Nothing more.
    Or I won't buy it. I'm sick of waiting ages for your games, Rockstar.
