GTA 5 developer Rockstar Games is reportedly set to release Red Dead Redemption on PC via the Epic Games Store. According to an X post by @videotechuk_ on June 12, 2024, a Red Dead Redemption PC port, codenamed Semla, was added to the Epic Games Store in February 2024.
@videotechuk_ stated that this information came to light due to a major Epic Games database leak, which also revealed a list of other potential games coming to the platform.
GTA 5 devs’ Red Dead Redemption leaked for PC, along with many others, per Epic Games DB leak
The leak came from an unofficial site called EpicDB, which has now gone offline. According to @videotechuk_, the leak shows that the GTA 5 developer’s Red Dead Redemption PC port will take around 9.17GB on PC. The game has so far been available on numerous platforms, including PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. However, it reportedly won’t be the only game leaked coming on Epic Games Store.
According to @Wario64, there are a handful of other unannounced projects leaked under different codenames via the EpicDB leak:
- Final Fantasy XVI
- Final Fantasy IX Remake
- Turok (from Saber)
- The Last of Us Part 2
Players should note that none of these ports have been confirmed by their official developers at the time of writing. Here's what an Epic Games representative told VGC (Video Games Chronicle) regarding the matter:
"We have issued an update to prevent any new, unpublished product titles from the Epic Games Store catalogue from appearing in third-party tools."
Red Dead Redemption was previously added to GTA Plus benefits for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S series. However, a PC port announcement of it seems imminent as a new GTA DLC is coming later this month. Rockstar Games could announce the port of the highly acclaimed game alongside it.
