GOG, Steam’s DRM-free competitor, is currently running their winter sale until January 2nd. There are a bunch of great deals on games new and old (like Dex and Unreal Tournament 2004, both of which I bought yesterday for about $3.50), but the real star is the Ultimate Red Collection. The Ultimate Red Collection includes a Cyberpunk 2077 preorder as well as every game CD Projekt Red has ever released for just $87.77. Let’s walk through just how crazy this deal is.
What Does The Ultimate Red Collection Include?
The Ultimate Red Collection is highlighted by the Cyberpunk 2077 preorder, which also includes GOG’s preorder bonuses for the game (print quality posters, an exclusive digital booklet, and additional wallpapers and extras). Beyond that, though, it also includes:
- The Witcher Adventure Game
- The Witcher 1: Enhanced Edition
- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition
- Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
Is The GOG Ultimate Red Collection Worth It?
Considering that The Witcher 3 is considered one of the greatest games of all time and that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most hyped games for 2020, this is an excellent deal for $87.77. If you wanted to buy all of these games separately, even with the current winter sales prices, it would cost you $95.94. In other words, you’re saving almost $10 by buying the bundle together. On top of that, if you already have any of the games in the bundle, GOG will still give you a code for that game that you can gift to a friend.
However, you’re saving even more money on the non-sale prices of all of these games. If you bought all of these games separately at their normal price, it would cost you a whopping $179.94. In other words, just over double what the bundle itself costs. Considering that Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t even come out yet, this is a crazy good deal.
If you’re thinking about dipping your toes into DRM-free gaming with GOG, buying the Ultimate Red Collection is an excellent way to kickstart your library. You get all three The Witcher games along with two spinoffs (which are Thronebreaker, a single-player campaign for GWENT, The Witcher card game, and The Witcher Adventure Game, which is a digital adaptation of The Witcher board game), and you preorder Cyberpunk 2077 at no extra cost. In other words, you’re basically buying somewhere from dozens to hundreds of hours of entertainment with the Ultimate Red Collection, and it doesn’t even cost as much as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 normally would in a two-pack by themselves.
If you want to support great games as well as the best DRM-free option out there for gamers, consider picking up The GOG Ultimate Red Collection for yourself or for a friend this holiday season. Better yet, even if you do have some of the games, buy this collection of the Cyberpunk 2077 preorder and then gift the extra codes to your friends. You’ll be the most popular gamer on the block. Happy gaming!
