Fifteen dollars. That’s what Rockstar is asking for one of the highest-rated games ever made.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has dropped to $14.99 on Steam — 75% off its $59.99 base price — as part of the Rockstar Games Publisher Sale. According to RockstarINTEL, this is the lowest price the game has ever hit on the platform. The Ultimate Edition sits at 80% off, coming in at £17.99 in the UK.

The numbers tell the story. Metacritic 93. Over 311,000 Steam reviews at 92% positive. Roughly 31,000 concurrent players as of April 7, 2026 — and that number climbs every time a sale like this drops. The game currently sits at #10 on Steam’s Top Sellers chart, which is absurd for a title that launched on PC in December 2019.

This isn’t some underrated gem waiting to be discovered. Everyone knows Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece — the kind of open-world experience that makes other developers quietly shelve their ambitions. Arthur Morgan’s story is the benchmark. The horse physics alone embarrassed an entire generation of games.

So who’s still buying it? The 31,000 concurrent players answer that: people who’ve been waiting for permission. At $60, RDR2 is a commitment. At $15, it’s an impulse purchase that costs less than a movie ticket and delivers 60 to 80 hours of narrative that most films can’t touch.

The broader Rockstar sale coincides with the buildup to GTA 6, as Times of Games notes, with discounts across the catalog — GTA V at 50% off, Max Payne 3 at 70%, even the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition at 60% off. But RDR2 at its all-time low is the headliner, and it’s not close.

If this game has been sitting in your wishlist, the waiting is over. Rockstar barely runs sales throughout the year, and there’s no guarantee this price returns anytime soon.
