Rock Out with These Xbox Sale Classics

Xbox is currently offering a new sale on classic Rockstar titles at discounted prices. This promotion is part of Xbox's Deals with Gold program, which provides Xbox Live Gold subscribers with a selection of discounted backwards-compatible titles to choose from every week.

Despite being known for creating some of the most critically acclaimed titles in gaming history, Rockstar Games has experienced a few tumultuous years. The company has focused heavily on the financial success of GTA Online, halted support for Red Dead Online, and released Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition in a problematic state, which has tarnished its usually impeccable reputation. As the 10th anniversary of GTA 5 approaches in September, fans of the beloved heist franchise are becoming increasingly impatient for any news about the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. However, in the meantime, Rockstar game enthusiasts have the opportunity to snag some of the studio's most celebrated games at a discounted price.

Several of Rockstar Games' most iconic titles are now available at discounted prices exclusively for Xbox Live Gold subscribers. The list includes popular games like Assassin's Creed 2, Revelations, and Rogue, as well as Konami's Frogger and Frogger 2. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly Grand Theft Auto 4, along with its two DLCs - The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned - which are sure to provide hours of entertainment for gamers. Other classic games such as Manhunt, Red Dead Revolver, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and Rockstar Table Tennis are also available as part of the sale.

The Xbox sale also includes all three titles from the popular Max Payne franchise, previously developed by Remedy Entertainment. As Rockstar now owns the rights to the series and even developed the third installment, the games fit seamlessly into their impressive collection. It's speculated that the trilogy's inclusion in the sale may be a promotional tactic for Remedy's upcoming remake of the first two Max Payne games. However, with the highly anticipated release of Alan Wake 2 in October, as well as two other multiplayer projects and a new installment of Control in the works at Remedy, it may be some time before fans catch a glimpse of the Max Payne remake.

With the Summer Game Fest on the horizon, many are speculating whether Rockstar's participation in this sale hints at upcoming news in the weeks to come. Historically, Rockstar has unveiled its blockbuster titles on its own terms, bypassing the traditional E3 event. However, with the Summer Game Fest now dominating the June gaming scene, it's not out of the realm of possibility for Rockstar to make an appearance, especially with rumors circulating about a potential release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2024. In the meantime, Xbox gamers can take advantage of the current sale to snag some of Rockstar's beloved classics.
