Rockstar has answered gamers’ questions on Red Dead Redemption for PC, and in the process more or less confirmed it’s not going to happen. It has, however, said that it hopes LA Noire and Max Payne 3 for PC will help convince gamers that the publisher isn’t against the PC.

“We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we’ve ‘abandoned the PC platform’,” reads a post on the Rockstar newswire.

“We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans – that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we’re well aware that some fans have been asking for it. All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) – we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100 per cent of the time for all platforms. To PC gamers, we hope that between the Grand Theft Auto titles, and the forthcoming L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3, you’ll have plenty of great Rockstar action to enjoy.”

PC gamers wanting Red Dead Redemption is perfectly understandable. We awarded the game 10/10 in our Red Dead Redemption review last year.

It’s a shame Rockstar doesn’t come out and explain exactly why Red Dead isn’t coming to PC. Considering the game engine is already up and running on the PC and the studio’s titles before and after are on or coming to the platform, Red Dead’s absence is extremely odd.
