Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release suggested by companion app

29 Oct 2018

A Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release rumour has been given more fuel for its fire thanks to code found within the game’s companion app.

Thanks to data miner BlackScout (via RockstarIntel), we now know of several snippets of code that refer to a now non-existent PC version of the game. Said snippets include phrases like, “PARAM_companionAutoConnectIpPC” and “CommandIsPcVersion(void) 000000000166A12C”.

Rockstar has yet to confirm a PC version of the game, but we’ve already seen hints at one. First, a Rockstar employee mentioned a PC release on his LinkedIn profile. Next, a European retailer listed a PC version of the game for sale next year.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

For now, Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on Xbox One and PS4. We reviewed the game here and have a number of (spoiler-free) guides available for use here.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
