Earlier in the week Rockstar Games revealed Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting some limited variants, these include the Red Dead Redemption 2 Special Edition and Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition. Now, listings on Games The Shop indicate that both the Red Dead Redemption 2 Special Edition and Ultimate Edition are making it to India. The Red Dead Redemption 2 Collector's Box hasn't been put up for pre-order and given its contents, import costs, and customs duty, it's safe to say it will be skipping the country altogether. Red Dead Redemption 2's release date is October 26 and both versions should be out at the same time. Other sites like Amazon India and Flipkart haven't listed Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, though we expect that to change now that all versions have a price and availability for India
As for how much they cost, Red Dead Redemption 2 Special Edition India price is Rs. 5,199 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition India price is Rs. 6,499. Not too bad when you consider that they are $80 (around Rs. 5,365) and $100 (nearly Rs. 6,705) internationally, making it slightly cheaper than buying it abroad. They can be pre-ordered right now. And if you're interested in the standard edition of Red Dead Redemption 2, it's Rs. 3,999. Keep in mind that this is for the game on PS4 and Xbox One. No PC version has been revealed by Rockstar Games just yet. In case you missed our detailed post on what each version has, we got you covered right here.
