Red Dead Redemption 2 PC will finally mosey onto Steam on December 5

Red Dead Redemption 2 first arrived on the PC on November 5, and exactly a month later, it’ll debut on Steam, Rockstar has announced.

Previously, PC gamers have only been able to purchase the game either directly through Rockstar, or via the Epic Games Store, or a few other selected online retailers (like Greenman – where the game is on sale for Black Friday, incidentally).

So the ability to grab RDR2 on Steam will be a welcome move for quite a few would-be players, even though ultimately, you’ll still have to fire up the game via Rockstar’s launcher.

Steam players will, of course, get the extra trimmings that Valve’s gaming platform brings with it, and because we are a month down the line now, many of the technical teething troubles that affected the game upon its first launch have now been cured. In fact, at this point, all the major bugbears have pretty much been wiped out by all accounts.

Which is why a lot of those who have been waiting for the Steam version have made tongue-in-cheek comments to those who previously purchased the game, thanking them for being beta testers.

Mad for mods

The PC version benefits from quite a number of goodies over the console efforts, including improved visuals – in fact as we’ve already observed, it can look absolutely stunning on PC – and of course you get mod support, with a number of these already released (that let you skip the boring intro if you’ve already played the game on Xbox One or PS4, for starters).

The first week of December just shaped up to be more interesting for many, then, and PC gamers should also be aware that Halo: Reach launches on December 3, as well.

Mother's Day 2020 gift ideas: 18 gadgets and gizmos for tech-savvy Aussie mums

Raising a family is not an easy job, and the women who care for us each and every day deserve to be told how special they are each and every day. While we tend to forget to do that, Mother’s Day reminds us we need to celebrate the women in our lives, whether they’re our own mothers or our wives and partners helping us raise the young ones. Mother’s Day 2020 is fast approaching (with under two weeks to go), and there’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to take her out to her favourite restaurant this year, or even get to a store to shop for something she might like. So we have to get creative, and TechRadar’s Australian team has put together this little list of great tech gift ideas that you can buy online and have delivered in time for May 10. But you will need to get a wriggle on as delivery supply chains are under strain with more people shopping online.
