As a part of the PC crowd, I am fairly resigned to the truth that, even when its preliminary November launch date sticks, we cannot be getting GTA 6 over right here in 2026. Rockstar Video games will wish to let its console model sit for some time, whether or not that is to make sure the PC model is as polished as doable, or just to entice you to shell out for a PS5 or Xbox copy figuring out that you’re going to in all probability purchase it once more relating to the Steam shores. In the event you want one thing to take your thoughts off that temptation, a brand new Rockstar Video games sale is simply the ticket.

Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 at 75% off ($14.99 / £14.99) might be nonetheless the spotlight – Sam scored it a powerful 10/10 at launch and that feeling holds up simply as nicely immediately. Combining Rockstar’s excessive manufacturing values and a surprising degree of element with a narrative that takes itself extra severely and reveals loads of soul in doing so, it is a actually unforgettable journey. Chuck in Crimson Lifeless On-line, which continues to be an entire boatload of enjoyable with a couple of pals even when it by no means received fairly the long-term help I hoped for, and you have got a surefire winner. Possibly you’ll be able to even assist remedy its newest thriller?
The previous RDR is not any slouch both, though its more moderen transfer over to PC creates a barely unusual scenario the place its 50% low cost ($24.99 / £19.99) nonetheless leaves it costlier than its sequel. Nonetheless, the story of John Marston, whereas a bit extra dated, nonetheless stays a implausible counterpart to that of Arthur Morgan – you may even discover some preferring it, and with loads of good causes.
In the event you nonetheless do not personal GTA 5 at this level, you’ll be able to seize it at 50% off ($14.99 / £14.99), though I’ll take this as my often scheduled alternative to inform you that it’s best to as an alternative decide up GTA 4. Coming bundled with each of its implausible story expansions, it is 70% off, that means you may pay simply $5.99 / £5.09 for the strongest most important narrative in the whole Grand Theft Auto collection. If it felt a bit drab coming off San Andreas on the time, return and provides Nico Bellic’s story a second probability; you will not remorse it.
Attain a bit deeper into the cut price bin, and the financial savings simply preserve coming.
