Just over thirty years since the birth of the Command & Conquer series, you can pick up a sizable chunk of its history on PC for under seven pounds.
Yes, Steam has a seventeen-item bundle of Command & Conquer games and their expansions for a whopping 67% off the collective retail price. That’s a whole lot of digital RTS warfare for peanuts.
The bundle contains all four mainline Command & Conquer games, the three Red Alert titles, the expansion packs, and spinoffs like the shooter Command & Conquer: Renegade.

Westwood Studios’ Command & Conquer is one of the greatest RTS series of all time, but it’s undeniable that the glory days are literally decades ago. The 1995 release of the original game coincided with an explosion in the popularity of gaming, and for RTS newcomers, it was an easy way to fall in love with the genre. Three mainline sequels would follow in 1999, 2007, and 2010, capped off by the underwhelming Tiberian Twilight.
The Red Alert spinoff series, which began the year after the first Command & Conquer, really pushed the series’ popularity to new heights, especially on the burgeoning PlayStation console.
We hadn’t seen much movement in the series for a decade (barring an MMO and a mobile game) when the Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection appeared on Steam in 2020. It gave a modern, spit-and-shine treatment to both the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert, including upscaled FMV cutscenes, remastered music, and modern online features.
Then, in 2012, EA dropped pretty much the entire Command & Conquer series onto PC in The Ultimate Collection, which is, of course, the very collection on sale now on Steam, having moved over there in 2024.
If you’re a lapsed fan wanting to relive the glory days, or just curious about a significant chunk of RTS history, that low price point for everything Command & Conquer should be all the encouragement you need.
