Rockstar Toronto Programmer Lists Red Dead Redemption 2’s PC version on LinkedIn
Now, it has been discovered that a former Rockstar Toronto Physics Programmer called Nan Ma has listed Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4, XB1, PC) on his LinkedIn profile, hinting that a PC release of the game was planned long before the game’s launch. This reference has since been removed from his LinkedIn profile, likely due to the news stories which now surround the profile.
As of yet, 2K Games and Rockstar have not revealed Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC, though given the hardware similarities of gaming PCs, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, a PC conversion of the title wouldn’t be a difficult feat for the studio, especially given the developer’s stellar work on Grand Theft Auto V for the platform.
Given the popularity of Red Dead Redemption 2 on consoles, it is hard to see a PC release of the title being anything less than a resounding success, providing gamers with a well-told story while also offering the possibility of 60 FPS gameplay.
It would be foolish for Rockstar to skip PC with Red Dead Redemption 2, as the studio would be leaving a lot of money on the table by doing so.
