In a somewhat strange turn of events, Rockstar has bumped up the non-sale prices for Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 in certain regions, including here in the UK.
Using the data tools over at DekuDeals, We're seeing £5 price increases for the digital versions of Red Dead 1 & 2 on the Xbox Store. The new prices are £59.99 and £29.99 respectively, up from £54.99 and £24.99 which were the RRP values before early May 2025.
Curiously, the US manages to avoid these price bumps — as do most Euro-spending countries — but some other nations have seen even bigger price increases this month. The Czech Republic, Chile and Brazil are just some of the other countries where the two games have gone up in value - with the latter seeing an almost 50% jump with the first Red Dead Redemption specifically.
At the time of posting, it's not entirely clear why this has happened. It could simply be some economical adjustments in the midst of an evolving market, or perhaps more cynically, Rockstar could be trying to eek as much out of its back catalogue of titles before GTA 6 finally launches next May. We'll be keeping an eye on things either way to see if the developer comments, or if these prices happen to change again in the near future.
