About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Hi All,
Found pretty easy method to get RDR2 for around £28.10 using a fee free card.
Install the rockstar launcher, dont run it yet.
Change your VPN to Ukraine (I have surfshark)
Login to the Rockstar Launcher and buy Red Dead (I just used my regular account that I had from GTA), price should be showing as 899UAH for regular edition. 1199 for special ed (£36.46) and 1499 (£46.84) for ultimate
I changed my payment location to be UK and entered my credit card details as normal and the transaction was processed!
Hope this helps some of you

sorted byThe game auto adjusts to the language of your console.
1: Download unlimited vpn extension on chrome and sign up (activate email for access to Ukrainian servers)
2: connect to the Ukrainian servers and log in to your rockstar account
3: go to socialclub.rockstargames.com/sto…ial and choose which version you want (the price should be ₴899.00 for standard edition)
4: purchase with a fee-free card to avoid charges
the game isn't region locked and the single player etc will be in english providing your launcher etc is in english
My friends had similar issues with GTA V with the rockstar launcher. On launch the download was really really slow, patches also where 10s of GB whereas on steam it was only a couple.
Cryptic - how would one go about being careful? Do I need to wear a rubber whilst playing ... those saloons do look a bit skanky!
I'll let you know when it's finished downloading this 113GB beast of a download . Don't see why not as I just used my normal UK Rockstar account , think the only thing that changes is the prices on the store front.
The launcher isn't in your browser, so that won't help - you need to VPN your PC's connection not just your browser. I use Winscribe and there is a separate exe to run to do that ... not sure about other VPNs.
here's a direct link to the one i use
chrome.google.com/web…mjf
You can buy the game via browser, with same procedure, setting UKR servers, and completely ignore the app.
I used Free VPN on Firefox, and worked great.
I can confirm it's not region locked, and you don't need a VPN to play.
Desktop pc, chrome, uVPN chrome extension.
1. Connect to the Ukrainian servers and log in to your rockstar account
2: Go to socialclub.rockstargames.com/sto…ial and choose which version you want (the price should be ₴899.00 for standard edition) but don't click buy now just yet!
3. Disconnect from Ukraine server, click buy now and use your card
(edited)
1. Get uVPN extension for Google Chrome chrome.google.com/web…=en
2. Connect to Ukraine Servers in Chrome Browser
3. Go onto: socialclub.rockstargames.com/sto…ial
4. Click the edition you want on "purchase now" (I chose standard)
5. Enter your details (I didn't change country or anything)
6. Now here's the important part; KEEP your uVPN ON whilst you process payment with your visa/mastercard debit/credit card.
7. It should go through and you should receive the receipt in your email and you can download
Hope this helps.
Again PayPal and Paysafe WON'T work. And it won't double charge you; if an error comes up the payment didn't go through so don't worry.
You can use any card to buy, not just fee free, see my other comment in previous thread.
Wait what? Is online not released for pc yet? Probably won't buy if that's the case.
Not really - you can just get a refund from your credit company if it doesn't work out
Thanks OP - bought
Doesn't the Steam version of GTA 5 also launch the Rockstar launcher - 2 lots of DRM for the price of 1 ?
I do not know. All I know is I've never had to re-download seemingly any of any game I've bought via Steam (many tens including all the old GTAs) and the only RockStar game I've bought direct from RockStar themselves fails and has to be entirely redownloaded at seemingly everyone I go to play it. (I still have 4MB broadband)
Yeah true but not really relevant considering that people want it for the PC.
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. You're making the standard mistake of rubbishing something that you really don't understand
I think it's pretty obvious that you're just in this thread to troll now. Some of us prefer PC gaming. You obviously don't so just move along.
FWIW I personally hate consoles these days and I consider the XB1 and PS4 to have been a complete disaster. The only console I've felt any affinity with in this generation has been the Switch. (edited)
Tried the following just now and worked:
1. Logged out of launcher & closed
2. Connected to Ukraine VPN using NordVPN
3. Opened the launcher & Logged back in
4. Before changing to UK, entered in my zip code, then changed to UK (This may be the crucial bit)
5. Entered rest of details as usual
6. Paid using Monzo card
7. Success
Thanks OP (edited)
What a clever chap you are !!!
I was trying all kinds of things with the Unlimited VPN Chrome Extension and logging in to Rockstar/Social . . . for hours, all of them failed.
I did the same as had failed previously, but entered a zip code of 02000 before I switched back to UK and it worked, YE HA !!!
Thank you
What's wrong with buying from another region? Are you concerned that Rockstar doesn't get £54.99 and gets £28 instead? This is just wrong, part of the £54.99 are UK/EU taxes and distribution comission/royalties.
Rockstar still gets the FULL MONEY they want per game sold (again, not £54.99). The only entities being hurt by this are the EU/UK (no VAT) and all the distributors/"middlemen" affected by distributing the game in the UK (no commissions/cut per unit sold). (edited)
Try using this with the Browser VPN active and see if it shows UK or Ukraine, it's probably showing UK and that's why it's failing.
You'll therefore need to install a VPN that has a Ukraine location. (edited)
Just buy it in the browser signed in to rockstar club I guess
Yes seems to be working fine, although getting terrible frame drops both on and offline.
Activated my VPN account on Chrome but i don't see any Ukrainian servers.
Oddly, the browser version of the store, didn't show Paypal. I don't know about the app.
I have a rechargeable postal Visa Card, that is pretty common here in Italy, so I don't have the fear to use my main bank account.
