One of Ubisoft’s most underrated games, Watch Dogs 2, is on a super steep sale on Steam right now. So steep, in fact, that it seems to have inspired a new crop of folks to trawl through the technocratic world of digitized San Francisco to put an end to the surveillance state at a time when we’re all under some sort of surveillance IRL.
Over on the game’s Steam store page, you can pick Watch Dogs 2 for just $2.50 until Thursday, July 9. That’s a 95% discount for a game that normally retails for $50. And that’s just the base game! If you wanted to grab the DLC–which includes new cars, co-op adventures, outfits, weapons, world missions, and more–then you can snatch up either the Deluxe Edition for $3 or the Gold Edition for $4. Really, no matter how you look at it, this is a steal for the game.
Likely as a result of this nearly five-finger discount for a game that launched in November 2016, Watch Dogs 2’s player count has soared. According to player tracker SteamDB, over 10,000 people are playing it right now, and it saw a 24-hour peak of over 16,000 people. These numbers are steadily encroaching on Watch Dogs 2’s all-time concurrent high of 18,138 players. That’s impressive for a nine-year-old game.
