When you’d informed me again in 2010 that Crimson Lifeless Redemption would take 14 years to launch on PC, I might have been completely happy: the world nonetheless has not less than 14 years left within the tank! However then I in all probability would have grown aggravated: 14 years to play a PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 sport on PC? It is merely unfair.
New proof suggests a Crimson Lifeless Redemption PC port is imminent. Famed GTA dataminer Tez2 posted new code from the Rockstar launcher website at the moment, and it would not depart a lot room for interpretation. Among the many code is the next quote: “Journey throughout the sprawling expanses of the American West and Mexico in Crimson Lifeless Redemption, and its zombie-horror companion, Undead Nightmare, now playable on PC.”

If true, it is a canny transfer on Rockstar’s half: releasing a basic sport on the second largest gaming platform on this planet (after cell) exhibits super enterprise acumen.
Crimson Lifeless Redemption acquired PS4 and Nintendo Swap ports final 12 months, which have been very welcome, although some have been upset by the shortage of graphical enhancements. Even the PS4 model remained locked at 30fps, for instance, although a 60fps choice was later made obtainable for gamers on PS5. Others have been aggravated by the $50 price ticket, which the CEO of Rockstar’s mother or father firm, Straus Zelnick, known as a “commercially correct worth”.
Rockstar has lengthy been shy of PC. PC variations of each Grand Theft Auto 5 and Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 launched a 12 months after their console equivalents, and arguably probably the most anticipated videogame of all time, Grand Theft Auto 6, will even skip PC when it launches on consoles subsequent 12 months. Why? The subject has by no means been instantly addressed by Rockstar.
We reached out to Rockstar, who declined to remark.
