And they just can’t get enough of it. And now, RDR 3 has been confirmed by Rockstar Games’ parent company. While this is great news, there’s more.

Following the confirmation of the third game, Rockstar Games has offered the perfect opportunity to return to the series. A means to keep fans engaged with the series. A big promotion for Red Dead Redemption 2 was announced. And as it stands, RDR 2’s price is not only reduced but also, it is cheaper than the first game.

One of the biggest talking points in the last few months was the Red Dead Redemption Remake, coming for the current generation of consoles. What immediately set fans off was the massive asking price Rockstar set at $60. Just a few weeks after it, Rockstar has a discount running for RDR 2. Now, it’s just $19.19 on the US PlayStation store for PS Plus users, and $17 on GameStop.

Simply put, with RDR 2, Rockstar Games cracked the code on making the perfect title.
