Fans Would Rather Wait Even Longer For A Sale!

Story Highlight
  • Rockstar Games has officially announced the long-awaited Red Dead Redemption PC port.
  • However, the reveal has received mixed reactions from fans, mainly due to its $50 price tag.
  • Some fans even stated they would prefer to wait for a sale rather than purchase it at launch.

Rockstar Games recently confirmed the long-rumored Red Dead Redemption PC port, set to release on October 29. However, the announcement has sparked a mixed reaction from fans, primarily due to its steep $50 price tag.

Many fans have taken to platforms like Reddit to express their disappointment, arguing that $50 is too high for a game that’s 14 years old. Some have even stated that they would prefer to wait for a sale rather than purchase the game at launch.

Why it matters: Even though $50 is not a full price for modern-day games, it is still considered a lot for a title that is more than 14 years old.

Given the fans’ reaction to the price point, it will be interesting to see how the Red Dead Redemption PC port performs at launch if the $50 price remains unchanged.

That said, the $50 price tag shouldn’t come as a surprise to those who followed its release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch last year, as both versions were similarly priced.

Considering that Take-Two, Rockstar Games’ parent company, previously defended the $50 price as reasonable for a 14-year-old title, it’s unlikely that the price will drop before launch.

Rockstar could argue that the game isn’t as old as it seems, especially with the graphical enhancements made for the PS4 and Switch versions, which were considered remasters.

Fans Are Angry Over The $50 Price Tag.

Thanks to modern PCs’ superior capabilities, the PC version is expected to surpass the PS4 and Switch versions. Rockstar has already promised various improvements and new features for the PC release.

Interestingly, Red Dead Redemption PC has higher system requirements than RDR2, raising concerns given the significant technical differences between the two games. Despite the mixed reactions, there’s still plenty of excitement surrounding its long-awaited arrival on the platform.

Whether the $50 price tag is justified remains a debate that is best left to developers and fans. A more definitive assessment will likely emerge once the game launches on October 29, which isn’t too far off.
