Code Points to ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ Heading to PC?
Once again, as Brian Glover said in Alien 3, this is Rumour Control. Rockstar’s megahit Red Dead Redemption 2 has been rumoured to be headed to PC for a while now.
In spite of Rockstar being tight-lipped about the possible port, when you have former employees with the game listed on their LinkedIn pages, not to mention that parent company Take Two Interactive’s CEO stating that there would be “no downside” to having the port, there’s enough for the tinfoil hat groups to start mumuring.
And now, according to The Nerd Mag, there’s another clue that Rockstar has been working on a PC port of RDR2. In the source code of the Rockstar Social Club, there’s a line of code referring to “RDR2_PC_Accomplishments”, with a list of achievements. A Twitter user was able to screengrab the code, lest Rockstar do a bit of cleaning.
The fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PC is now quite evident. #RDR2 #reddeadredemption2pc #RedDeadRedemption2 #rdr2pc #reddeadredemption

Social Club is Rockstar’s official application that keeps track of player progress, including their achievements, friends and so on. The mention of a PC version of RDR2 in the source code of this application does lend credence to previous leaks, but until Rockstar says something, it can all be taken with a grain of salt.
Read Dead Redemption 2 is currently out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Just in case it wasn’t already clear, Jason Voorhees will be arriving in Dead by Daylight next week. And along with teasing their 10th Anniversary Livestream on June 14, Behaviour Interactive also dropped another teaser, this time for Jason and his never-before-seen Bloody Jason skin. That also includes a Redband variant, just for old time’s sake.
While it’s unclear for now just how players can snag this gory cosmetic, the skin joins the other three previously-revealed skins in the Jason Collection, featuring a range of Outfits that pay homage to his legacy while being reimagined in ways only The Fog could shape. Jason’s default Outfit presents the unmistakable icon from Jason Universe, originally designed by horror legend Greg Nicotero: a 13-holed hockey mask, machete, and weather-beaten clothing worn through countless kills.
Additional outfits include Backwoods Terror, which trades Jason’s jacket for flannel and suspenders, and his machete for a heavy axe. Death Forsaken offers a more grotesque incarnation with decayed features, exposed bone, and a shovel in hand. Lastly, Jason’s Depths of Despair Outfit sees him emerging from the depths; a vision of terror covered head-to-toe in barnacles, coral, and seaweed.
Dead by Daylight: Jason will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 16.
