    Has it not been released on PC all this time? That’s wild. And lazy. I don’t know why people give this company so much credit anymore.

      I gave up on Rockstar once they canceled GTA:V expansions for all the shark card GTA Online bullshit. Could have been awesome, but they gated so much content behind that shitty online mode.

      There was a lot of talk about RDR’s code being duct taped together and being really difficult to undo for a port, took them until recently to really start doing so in earnest, so maybe they’ve wanted to for a while but are just now seeing the fruits of that labor.

      Not like I support Rockstar since I think that company is dogshit. But how is it lazy? They’ve been milking PC sales of RDR2 for years now. Seems like they didn’t want RDR1 to compete against RDR2. It is more calculated than lazy.

      Yup, I gave up waiting and dug out my old Xbox 360 to play it. I honestly hadn’t heard about it until RDR2 came out and wanted to play the first. It was a fantastic experience, but I really would’ve preferred to play it on my PC, and I would’ve bought a copy from them instead of the used copy I found in eBay. Their loss I guess…

      Iirc, your best bet was to emulate the switch port.
      The game runs on xbox (xenia) and ps3 (rpcs3) emulators but needs really beefy pc and still has issues.

        I wouldn’t say it needs a really beefy PC. I built mine 5 years ago and it ran at 60fps at 1440p in Xenia without any major issues.

    Remember the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 releases last year. They just going to port the PS4 version. Why I think they’re going to that? Because it’s easy and it’s low cost.
