New Red Dead Redemption 2 classification could be for a PC version
Australian classification board rates Rockstar’s hit western game again
A new version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been rated by the Australian classification board.
While a specific platform isn’t listed alongside the classification, it’s possible the rating is for a highly anticipated – yet still unconfirmed – PC version of Rockstar’s hit western game.
The title was classified MA 15+ on August 20, meaning it’s legally restricted to persons aged 15 years and older.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped over 25 million units worldwide since its PS4 and Xbox One release in October 2018, according to publisher Take-Two.
In June, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick gave the clearest indication yet that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released for PC. Asked about the prospect of bringing Red Dead Redemption 2’s online multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, to PC, he said: “There’s no downside to releasing the game on PC.”
While Red Dead Redemption 2 remains unannounced for PC, given its success on PS4 and Xbox One – plus Rockstar’s history of launching PC versions of its games after their console release – it would be surprising if a PC version isn’t officially confirmed in due course.
Just last week Rockstar released a dedicated game launcher for its PC titles including Grand Theft Auto V.
