Rockstar Games just launched one of its biggest Steam sales of the year. The developer is offering discounts reaching up to 80% on select titles from January 22 through February 5, which feels less like generosity and more like clearing inventory - not that this is a thing in digital distribution, but you know - before Grand Theft Auto 6 swallows the entire gaming industry whole later this year, especially if we get a third trailer ahead of its release.
This isn't your typical every-other-week sale that floods your inbox. Rockstar is notorious for keeping prices high year-round. When they do offer discounts, it's usually modest at best. This time, they're going all out with price cuts that should get the select few who haven't, for some reason, bought all Grand Theft Auto games already, to buy the entire collection and slowly play through them.
The sale includes practically everything in Rockstar's catalog. Red Dead Redemption 2, widely considered one of the best open-world games ever made, is available for 75% off its regular price. That's a game that typically holds its value for years after release, now available for less than what most people spend on a decent dinner. The newly available-on-PC Red Dead Redemption is also discounted at 50%, and Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced is marked down by 50% as well. For anyone who’s somehow avoided Los Santos for the past decade, this is the part where you quietly stop pretending you’re “waiting for the right time.”
