It is no longer a rumor that "Red Dead Redemption 2" release date is approaching. Here are five important things you should know if you consider yourself as Red Dead fan.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" for consoles: PS4 and Xbox One

The epic tale of America's heartland is confirmed for Xbox One and PS4, as reported in Rockstar official website. However, there has been a debate whether "Red Dead Redemption 2" will also be available for PC or the newly released console, Nintendo Switch.

Fans are hoping that Rockstar will roll out the game for PC and Switch, as it would bring much better gaming experience on-the-go and at home.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" for PC is likely

Recent report suggests that Rocktar could be releasing "RDR 2" for PC. Analyst Michael Pachter from Wedbush Securities predicts that the game maker would make a PC version of the game, probably two years after its initial launch. Pachter based his analysis on "GTA 5," Express UK has learned.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" for Nintendo Switch might never happen

Pachter goes on to say that there may not be a Nintendo Switch version for "RDR 2," given that Nintendo already has partners in line. However, this is just a speculation that has not been confirmed yet.
