Red Dead Redemption may not see a PC release, Rockstar Games has said.

Responding to a user letter on an open Q&A, the firm said that it was aware of requests for a PC release, but a port at this time is not "viable".

"We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans - that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we're well aware that some fans have been asking for it," said a representative.

"All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) - we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms."

Rockstar Games also said that its recent announcements of LA Noire and Max Payne 3 on PC have put misconceptions that it has "abandoned" the platform to rest.

The firm added: "To PC gamers, we hope that between the Grand Theft Auto titles, and the forthcoming LA Noire and Max Payne 3, you'll have plenty of great Rockstar action to enjoy."

Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition will launch on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next week.
