We waited for what seemed like ages for the Red Dead Redemption 2 PC port, but we won't have to wait much longer for the game to drop on Steam. Rockstar announced today on Twitter that the game is coming to Steam on December 5, one month after it debuted on PC.

There's no Steam page for Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, but it'll likely go up in the near future as it was just officially announced, so keep an eye out. The port was teased all summer, so it's nice to see that it'll be available on Steam so shortly after it dropped for PC. No word yet on if there will be any Steam exclusives, as the PC version came with a few pre-purchase incentives like 50 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online and an Outlaw Survival Kit.
