When is the Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release time? It’s been a long wait for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, but it’s almost over now. Rockstar’s cowboy epic hits PC on November 5, and as of this story, we’ve already hit that date in certain parts of the world. If you’re looking to play early, you’ve still got a bit of a wait ahead. Red Dead Redemption 2 unlocks on PC at 8:00 EST on November 5. That’s a single worldwide release time, so you’ll be able to play at the exact same moment as your friends across whichever pond. That’s just on the Rockstar Launcher and the Epic Games Store – if you’re waiting to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam, that version is coming on an unspecified date in December. Red Dead 2 pre-loads are live, and you might want to start those downloads as soon as possible – the Red Dead Redemption 2 PC system requirements suggest well over 100GB of hard drive space.
