Red Dead Redemption may finally launch on PC 14 years after its original release, judging from some recent findings.

As reported by Tez2 on X/Twitter, a screenshot showing a code string mentioning the PC version of the popular Old West-themed open-world game released back in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is making the rounds online. As Tez2 has yet to mention where this string has been discovered, we must take this PC port rumor with a huge grain of salt until more info comes in. [Update - The strings were found in Rockstar's launcher site file.]
