Red Dead Redemption 2 is easily one of the most popular games of the last decade, but anyone that has yet to check it out might want to jump on a Steam deal that brings it to one of its lowest prices ever. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game that definitely gives players their money's worth, making it an absolute steal at its currently discounted price.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was met with near-universal acclaim when it originally launched in 2018, with critics and fans alike praising it for its incredibly detailed world, emotionally-engaging narrative, and innovative gameplay. It's been a massive success for Rockstar Games, yet there are still those who haven't experienced Arthur Morgan's story for whatever reason.
Those that have been holding out for a discount can now purchase Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam at a staggering 67% off its usual asking price of $59.99. Until March 15, Steam users can grab the Red Dead Redemption 2 base game for just $19.79, while the Ultimate Edition is $29.99. Those that want to spring for the Ultimate Edition get some unique content, including a special bank robbery mission, gang hideout, Dappled Black Thoroughbred horse, gameplay bonuses, and the Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger outfit for story mode. They also get bonus outfits, rank bonuses, the Black Chestnut Thoroughbred, and Survivor Camp Theme for the Red Dead Online multiplayer game as well.
It seems many Steam users have already jumped on this limited-time Red Dead Redemption 2 deal, as the game has managed to return to the top 10 best-selling Steam games. Despite being a five-year-old game, Red Dead Redemption 2 is only being outpaced by the biggest new releases, such as the Destiny 2 Lightfall expansion, indie hit Sons of the Forest, and the wildly popular open world Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy.
It's relatively rare for Rockstar Games titles to get significant discounts like this, and in fact, this is the cheapest Red Dead Redemption 2 has ever been on Steam, according to SteamDB. Considering this, it makes sense that a lot of people are jumping on the opportunity and buying Red Dead Redemption 2 at this low price while they still can.
Of course, it's possible that Red Dead Redemption 2 will eventually be offered at an even lower price or will become part of a free games program. In fact, Red Dead Redemption 2 was previously part of Xbox Game Pass. However, programs like Game Pass don't give players games to keep, whereas buying RDR2 at this low price will ensure they have access to it forever.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
