It looks like rumors regarding the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 were true after all, as Rockstar has just announced the game will be released in early November. Starting October 23, gamers can pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 at the Epic Games store, Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, GameStop, and additional digital retailers.

All those who pre-order the game will receive a bonus of 25 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online. Also, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will also be available to purchase on Steam this December. However, the game will be released on November 5, so those who prefer Steam will have to wait one more month to play it if they don't want to get it on Epic Games Store.

One of the major decisions that hinted at a possible Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release was the launch of the Rockstar Games Launcher. Well, it looks like the game will be available for pre-order through the Rockstar Games Launcher starting October 9, two weeks earlier than other retailers mentioned above.

On top of that, those who pre-order the game through the Rockstar Games Launcher will receive many more bonuses. First off, customers who pre-purchase the game will receive two free Rockstar Games PC titles from the following: GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Bully: Scholarship Edition, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition, and Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition.

In addition to the two free games, pre-purchases made on the Rockstar Games Launcher also include free upgrades to the Premium Editions of Red Dead Redemption 2, with both the Special Edition and Ultimate Edition discounted by $20 each.

Last but not least, additional bonuses offered via the Rockstar Games Launcher include Outlaw Survival Kit for Story Mode, War Horse for Story Mode, Treasure Map for Story Mode, Cash Bonus for Story Mode, and 50 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online.
