A couple of days ago, we informed you about MediaMarkt listing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PC and accepting pre-orders for that particular version. However, it appears that this listing was just a placeholder and nothing more.
WCCFTech got in touch with MediaMarkt who told them that the PC listing was just a placeholder, though they are counting on it being announced for the PC in the future.
“It’s true we had the RDR2 PC version listed. I checked this with the games department at our HQ and got told that it’s something of a placeholder and that they count on it being announced sometime in the future (just as with GTA V for example). It is no longer listed as available for pre-purchase, though.”
So yeah, it appears that MediaMarkt had no inside information about the PC listing. Either that or they have simply taken it down after the media discovering it.
Point is that we are back to square one again. As we’ve already said, at this point it’s a matter of “when” and not a matter of “if” Red Dead Redemption 2 comes to the PC. Will Rockstar invest on an early next-gen version of RDR2 like it did with Grand Theft Auto V? And if that’s the case, will it bring that version to the PC after its next-gen console release?
