Players without PS Plus Extra who are interested in the new Red Dead Redemption native PS5 port are in luck. There is a way to play the game for dirt cheap rather than forking out $49.99, provided you can beat it within a month.
Red Dead Redemption PS5 comes out to just $7.99 via the GTA+ method
Since Rockstar Games delisted the original RDR1 PS4-only SKU on the PS Store and replaced it with a full-priced PS5/PS4 cross-buy version, the cheapest way to play the game is via a one-month GTA+ subscription, which costs $7.99. That’s half the price of a one-month PS Plus Extra subscription, which costs $14.99.
Once again, the caveat is that you have to beat RDR within a month, but since it’s a single-player game that only takes 17-18 hours for the campaign, it’s not a lot, given we’re headed into the holiday season.
You can, of course, wait for a sale, but Rockstar Games titles don’t get significant discounts right away, and you might be waiting for a while.
However, players should note that RDR’s current-gen port also includes additional content like Undead Nightmare that will require additional time to beat. That said, we’re only sharing a cheap option that players can explore if they’re itching to play one of the best PS3 games.
