Amazon Prime Day's two-day sales event is well underway, offering an impressive range of discounts on video games, electronics, and more. But Amazon isn't alone in taking advantage of the gaming community's excitement for a great deal. Walmart is trying to capitalize with its own gaming deals including a steep discount for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Walmart is offering Red Dead Redemption 2 on both PS4 and Xbox One for a 50% off sale price of $29.99. Walmart also offers free pick-up from your local store. In order to get free shipping, however, buyers will have to reach a checkout total of $35.

In all fairness, this isn't the first time that Red Dead Redemption 2 has been discounted to $29.99. Amazon has even discounted the western adventure-shooter to the same price twice in the past month. However, $29.99 is as low as a retail copy of the game has been since its release in October 2018. Potential buyers can feel safe that there aren't any better opportunities during the Amazon Prime Day sales window.

As for whether Red Dead Redemption 2 will be discounted further during an upcoming sales event, that's difficult to predict. Black Friday is months away, which would be the likeliest time another sale would appear. Labor Day in early September also tends to feature some steep discounts as back-to-school sales, but ultimately there's no way to guess correctly. At $29.99 it's hard to argue that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't worth the price, at the very least.

Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't the only game on sale during Amazon Prime Day, either. Other major discounts include the PS4 exclusive Days Gone for $39.99, the PlayStation Classic console for $19.99, or even a PS4 Pro bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man and the Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for $299.99. Computer and laptop buyers should also check out Amazon's discounts as a broad range of hardware is on sale through July 16.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PS4 and Xbox One.
