UPDATE ONE: The Steam release Date for Red Dead Redemption 2 has been confirmed today by Rockstar Games.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available for PC for more than three weeks, and was first launched through Rockstar Games Launcher and Epic Games Store. Rockstar wanted to take advantage of the high revenue share between its store and Epic Game Store to launch Red Dead Redemption 2, but is now ready to expand. As promised, Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive in Steam, where a large community of PC games await delivery.
In a quick and simple post on the official Twitter account, Rockstar Games confirmed that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be launched on Steam starting December 5. This is one month after the launch of the game in the windows of other stores, but the confirmation of the expiration of the small exclusive contract. No more details were provided for the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Steam platform, but at least it’s a date that Steam users can add to their calendars.
Surprisingly, despite Rockstar’s announcement on Twitter, the company only updated the release date of Red Dead Redemption 2 on its Steam file. The game is not yet available for pre-order and has not received a price. This may be due to something in the game’s exclusive contract, to ensure that many sales are made through Rockstar or Epic Games Store before the launch of Steam. As such, Steam users should expect Red Dead Redemption 2 to be available for purchase only on December 5 and not before. This may mean that there will be no preload.
Since Steam has pre-orders for Red Dead Redemption 2, they are in doubt, and there is doubt as to whether the bonus offered for pre-orders on other platforms will be offered to Steam users. Pre-PCs before their launch on November 5 received 25 gold ribbons you spend on Red Dead Online. Steam users may end up lagging in the gold rush and will have to earn their first gold bars through hard work.
Whether Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC players bought the game from Steam, Epic Game Store or otherwise, the game has received many improvements compared to its previous console. This includes a variety of graphical and technical improvements, such as increased extraction distance, as well as new content such as Rewards Hunting Missions, Gang Hideaway, Weapons and more. Steam users will see improvements for themselves starting December 5.
