Red Dead Redemption 2 player count surges, is currently cheaper than it's ever been

There’s no denying it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest video games of all-time. If you’re sitting there looking sheepish because you know you haven’t checked it out yet, worry not. Rockstar Games’ rootin’ tootin’ hit is currently rising up the Steam charts as it’s on sale for an incredible bargain price.

Red Dead Redemption 2 may have been released five years ago, but it continues to be one of the best-looking games out there. Although, the newly-released Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores may take the title as being the most visually stunning game I’ve seen. Fans are desperate for a RDR3 announcement, dreaming up their own map concept in the meantime. The game’s open-world is so full that players are still making discoveries all these years later, with one player recently finding an alternate ending to that iconic Lenny mission. Let’s hop back on over to that great deal though.

Take a look at some of our favourite Red Dead Redemption 2 wins and fails below.

As reported by PCGamesN, Red Dead Redemption 2 has snuck its way back into the top 10 on Steam. This is mainly due to the fact that the game is on sale until 28 April so if you’re a PC player who’s yet to sample the game, now is the time to give it a go. You can grab this modern classic for the low price of just £19.79/$19.79, which is a whopping 70% off. If you’d prefer to grab Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition, that’s also 70% off, bringing the price down to £26.99/$29.99.

What’s the difference between the two versions, I hear ye ask? Well, the Ultimate Edition is down from $100. It includes all of the Special Edition content, plus bonus story content, and bonus Red Dead Online content. That extra story content includes the bank robbery mission and gang hideout, the ‘dappled black thoroughbred’, the talisman and medallion gameplay bonuses, gameplay boosts, cash bonuses, plus the ‘Nuevo Paraiso gunslinger’ outfit.

Phew. Got all that? There’s more. The Red Dead Online content includes bonus outfits, rank bonuses, the ‘black chestnut thoroughbred’, and free access to the survivor camp theme. With all that in mind, it may be worth grabbing the Ultimate Edition.
