Red Dead Redemption 2 PC - Nov 5 (Rockstar Games Launcher, EGS, GMG, Humble and other digital retailers. Coming to Steam in December)
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
You think? I'd wager enthusiasts will wait for Steam while the average person will just play the Rockstar Launcher version.
I know it's only a month, but, fuck Rockstar/Take Two for taking that deal.
They are the last company that needs that kinda cash, but, whatever.

A non blind person, yes they are.
Will be waiting for steam release, game looks gorgeous but input lag and 30fps stops it short of greatness.
It's going to be really interesting to see what specs you'll need to achieve XB1X settings at 60fps.
I'll be giving this another play through if they've improved the controls.

"Lol"... any person interested in the game could buy it one month earlier simply installing their launcher.
Consider that store bias outside of game forums is almost non-existant.
I also stopped buying Ubisoft games on steam for this exact reason. There's no reason to have 2 launchers for 1 game. I would prefer getting it on rockstar over having epic or steam launch rockstar client.
Bro you waited a year for this announcement, a month is nothing. Let's you get through Death Stranding/Pokemon/DOOM Eternal/Star Wars in time for those warm Christmas vibes so think of it as a blessing in disguise :P
More like extra existing activities in the game world. Not actual new story stuff.
Epic is gonna be competing with Rockstar's own launcher though. Just like Uplay for Division 2.
The real question is which keys GMG and other retailers will be selling, since that's where a big portion of those pre-orders will come from.
That's gonna be the million dollar question.
Ok this is what I figured, thanks. I'll just get it on their launcher then
Any home PC/latop that can run Chrome!
If you want to play the Stadia version :D
When all the hype with all the streamers pushing red dead on PC on twitch day one. It will push copies day one.
If EGS gets little to no return for whatever the outlay was, they might focus more on small stuff and not sweat trying to lock up the massive titles, even for a month. They need to test the market. We likely won't ever know hard numbers, but if they are laying out 8 figures for no return, we might see the ripple effects.
or maybe its a wild success on EGS (i'm confident they won't portray it any other way even if it does flop based on their internal projections/expectations) and Tim doubles down on AAA one-month exclusivity agreements.
the market has only been tested with 1-year windows so far. BL3 has 6 months, but we are still in that window and it misses the holiday shopping season. RDR2 won't.
I really don't think people are itching to watch more Red Dead (now on PC), it'll get like a 1-2 day boost
Not exclusive.
Other than Rockstar Games Launcher, "Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will also be available to pre-order at the Epic Games store, Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, GameStop and additional digital retailers starting October 23rd with a pre-order bonus of 25 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online. "
Greenman Gaming is actually pretty good. I never tried Humble Store, or Gamestop digital(?).
Fuck. I should have waited for the PC version. At least I played the Xbox One X version which was pretty good. But I always had issues with the input lag. Something that would have been solved with PC playing at higher frame rate
60 fps, better graphics, mods...
*selling his PS4 copy*
lol at Steam btw, Gaben can't catch a break these days.

It is lol. And further shows that it's not because of better cut but paid to delay.
People who want to play day 1 probably will go with Rockstar Launcher.
You almost definitely will. GTA V goes through Rockstar's Social Club so I see no reason why RDR2 won't go through the new Rockstar Launcher (just like Ubisoft titles and Uplay in that respect). Guess we'll learn next Wednesday.
Yay, finally! This game will really benefit from some mods to fix things (like the crappy wanted system), so I can't wait to get stuck in with that.
Disappointed they're not bundling all of the pre-order content together though, like they did with GTA V PC.

They paid for Ubisoft "exclusivity", but people ignored it and used Uplay. It will be the same with R* launcher.
It's just so petty of them.

You will probably be able to transfer online character. So his comment about gold is kinda non issue.
This, Outer Worlds, Jedi Fallen Order, AND the new SWTOR expansion all coming out within weeks of each other is KILLING me
Will likely rebuy on steam next summer sale. Loved it on ps4 but played as a peaceful man. I think next time I'll be an asshole.
