Red Dead Redemption 2 Drops to $15 on PlayStation and Xbox Ahead of Summer Game Fest
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Rockstar Games has discounted Red Dead Redemption 2 to $15 on PlayStation and Xbox as part of current platform promotions, following news that the title has crossed 85 million sales.
While the entire gaming community waits for any scrap of news regarding Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar's other monumental franchise is still pulling in staggering numbers. During parent company Take-Two Interactive's recent earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick shared that Red Dead Redemption 2 has officially surpassed 85 million copies sold. That milestone cements the epic western as the third best selling video game of all time, sitting comfortably behind only Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto 5.
For anyone who has somehow managed to miss out on Arthur Morgan's journey, the barrier to entry just got remarkably low. As reported by Polygon, Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently discounted by 75 percent on PlayStation and Xbox. You can pick up the modern classic for just fifteen dollars instead of the usual sixty. The discount is part of ongoing storefront events including PlayStation Days of Play and Xbox Deals Unlocked.
Keep in mind that this deal applies to the backward compatible PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game, as Rockstar has yet to release a dedicated native current gen port. Even without a fresh coat of technical upgrades for modern hardware, the open world holds up as an absolute technical and narrative marvel that easily justifies a fifteenth of your usual digital budget. Both promotional sales are scheduled to run through June 10, giving players a solid window to grab one of the defining titles of the last decade.
