Red Dead Redemption 1 Steam Price Revealed

Key Takeaways

  • Red Dead Redemption 1 is coming to PC for $49.99, a high price for a 14-year-old game.
  • PS4 gamers can buy the game for $34.99 for a limited time, giving them a discount.
  • PC gamers had to wait a long time to play Red Dead Redemption.

As a long-time fan who has eagerly anticipated the arrival of Red Dead Redemption on PC, I must admit I feel a mix of excitement and disappointment upon learning about its price tag of $49.99. On one hand, I’m thrilled to finally experience this classic western adventure on my preferred platform. On the other, I can’t help but compare it to the discounted price that PS4 gamers are enjoying for a limited time.


This month, the much-anticipated PC version of the classic game Red Dead Redemption, originally released in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will retail at $49.99. Back then, it sold for $59.99, a common price for new PS3 and 360 games. Despite being made playable on newer Xbox consoles through backward compatibility, it mostly remained confined to its original hardware.

The situation shifted dramatically the previous year when Red Dead Redemption was made available on PS4 and Switch. Regrettably, the cost for these versions of the highly praised game was quite steep, selling at $49.99, despite being over a decade old. It’s no wonder that the Steam version of Red Dead Redemption is also launching with an expensive price tag.

Additional information has been posted on the Steam page for Red Dead Redemption, including its price. When it launches on October 29, Steam users will have to pay $49.99 to purchase this 14-year-old game. Some PC gamers who have been eagerly awaiting the chance to play Red Dead Redemption might find this high price reasonable for an old title, but others may not be pleased, particularly when considering that the PS4 version is currently on sale.

How Much Does Red Dead Redemption 1 Cost on PC?

  • $49.99

For a limited time, PS4 gamers can buy Red Dead Redemption for $34.99 instead of the usual asking price of $49.99. There’s also the option to sign up for a GTA+ subscription ($7.99 per month) to get Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation as well. While it’s likely that many PC gamers will be willing to pay $49.99 for the game, it’s probable others will wait for similar deals before getting the beloved open world western on their platform of choice.

It’s regrettable that console gamers got to experience Red Dead Redemption before PC users, considering the sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2, concluded where the original left off and has been on PC for quite some time. Without spoiling details, PC gamers have been curious about what happened next in the story. The downside is that PC players will likely face a long wait again when it comes to Rockstar’s upcoming game, Grand Theft Auto 6.

It appears that Grand Theft Auto 6 is unlikely to be released on PC at the same time as PS5 and Xbox Series X. While a PC version of GTA 6 is expected in the future, fans should not anticipate its launch date to align with the console versions’ releases.
