  • Classic FPS game Return to Castle Wolfenstein is suddenly even better - 1 July 2024

    2001 was an unusual year for FPS games. Corridor shooters of the kind pioneered by Doom, Quake, and the original Half-Life seemed to leave vogue, and instead it was Halo, its larger-scale battlefields, and its heightened sense of 'realism' that came to define the genre. Between these two epochs - the freewheeling '90s and the more serious '00s - lies Return to Castle Wolfenstein . Imaginative but grounded, fast-paced but punishing, one of the best FPS games on PC is now even better thanks to a transformative unofficial remaster mod. Read the rest of the story...

  • One of the greatest FPS games ever returns with a huge new VR port - 25 January 2024

    It has been twenty-three years since Return to Castle Wolfenstein arrived on the scene and left its mark on multiplayer FPS game design forever. Prestigious as its online component is, its oft-underappreciated single player campaign remains a fantastic time and appears all the more so played with this transformative VR port.

  • Can't wait for Wolfenstein 3? RTCW is getting ray tracing - 11 June 2022

    The Xbox Bethesda showcase is sure to bring some Starfield news please , but many fans (including us) are hoping to finally get a Wolfenstein 3 reveal. Even if it does, it'll likely still be a long way off, but what might ease the wait is a Return to Castle Wolfenstein ray tracing mod. The newer Wolfenstein games by Machine Games are fantastic but there's something really special about 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It's had plenty of mods in its time - including a recent effort to recreate the lost Enemy Territory single-player expansion - but it's still looking a bit long in the tooth at this point, despite the overhaul mod released a few years ago. Well, if Doom can get ray tracing , so can the best Wolfenstein game - and this isn't coming from a regular fan, either. Dihara Wijetunga is a senior graphics research and development engineer at AMD and they're creating a Wolf PT mo…

  • Fans have recreated Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory's cut single-player campaign - 20 November 2021

    A modder has taken aim at recreating the long-lost Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory single-player campaign as part of the game's 20th-anniversary celebration. The campaign expansion, which was supposed to come out in 2003, has been fully reimagined - and is now available on Steam. Enemy Territory was originally meant to be a full paid expansion to 2001's Return To Castle Wolfenstein reboot, but the single-player side reportedly ran into development problems and was removed. The multiplayer - by Gears Tactics developer Splash Damage - was released in 2003 for free, where it proved incredibly popular. While nothing official of the single-player side has been released, modder William Faure has recreated the campaign based on Return To Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory's multiplayer maps - complete with voice acting - which can be installed along with the RealRTCW overhaul…

  • Return to Castle Wolfenstein gets an overhaul mod next month - 21 September 2020

    Fans have been hard at work overhauling just about everything in Return to Castle Wolfenstein . The overhaul mod is called RealRTCW , and it comes with a new renderer, expanded arsenal, rebalanced guns, and host of improvements to models, textures, and sounds. It's nearly done, too, and will be available to download on Steam October 15. The modders explain that the project comes with widescreen support, high-quality sounds, and x64 support thanks to the ioRTCW engine it's based on. There's also a new difficulty system and reworked AI, so expect enemies to act a bit differently. The mod also introduces new holdable items such as Adrenaline and Bandages. As the modders explain on the mod's Stream profile, there are oodles of new weapons for you to pick from, too. If you download the mod you can expect to stumble across an MP34, M1 Garand, BAR, MP44, MG42, G43, M97 Trench Gun, Revolver, MG…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

Return to Castle Wolfenstein's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Return to Castle Wolfenstein's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Return to Castle Wolfenstein at $4.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
