Red Dead Redemption 2 [XONE PS4]

Red Dead Redemption 2 companion app points to PC version of the game

References to PC, graphics options and Oculus

Files inside Red Dead Redemption 2's companion app contain multiple references to PC, graphics options and resolutions, according to a report, adding fuel to speculation that the game will eventually come to PC.

As uncovered by Rockstar Intel, the companion app contains a number of interesting parameters within its files, including:

   PARAM_companionAutoConnectIpPC
   PARAM_Oculus
   CommandIsPcVersion(void)    000000000166A12C

The files also contain numerous references to graphics options, such as temporal anti-aliasing, resolution of water reflections, shadow quality and particle quality.

Some of the mentions of PC in the files might be hinting at a desktop version of the companion app rather than a proper PC version of the game—there's "SIGNIN_PC_APP_URL", for instance. But the presence of graphics options, Oculus (Red Dead 2 VR?) and the word "PcVersion" suggests something else is afoot.

It's not concrete, and I wouldn't expect Rockstar to comment on it, but it's one more piece of evidence that Arthur Morgan and the gang could arrive on PC at some point. Fingers crossed.

For all other hints at a PC version, read our Red Dead Redemption 2 PC hub, here.

- GTA 4 took about seven months to make the jump to PC.
- LA Noire took about six months to arrive on PC.
- Max Payne 3 launched just two weeks after console versions in 2012, but then it's fair to say this was historically considered a PC series.
- GTA 5 arrived 17 months after the PS3/Xbox 360 versions, and five months after the more comparable Xbox One and PS4 versions. It was originally meant to launch about three months earlier, however, in January 2015, and was originally announced alongside the 2014 console versions at E3 2014.

If we were to make an informed guess on when Red Dead Redemption 2 does come to PC, then, history tells us it'll probably be a wait of about five-to-seven months.

A decision on whether to bring Red Dead Redemption 2 to PC has probably already been made. When we spoke to Rockstar North about GTA 5's PC release back in 2015, they said they planned for it from day one. "We were always going to bring GTA 5 to PC."

Palpite otimista: sai no meio do ano que vem, ao menos um anúncio oficial. Como fiz com GTA5, pego fullprice assim que der.

Acho q sai antes, esses consoles não devem sair antes de 2020.

Sem contar que o esperado é que ambos tenham Retro, visto q devem manter a mesma arquitetura, logo, se pa nem tem remaster dele.
