Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games’ critically acclaimed open-world epic, has just surpassed its latest sales milestone, selling an additional four million copies in the third quarter of FY2023. This achievement brings the total sales to over 61 million units worldwide since its launch, cementing its place as the seventh best-selling video game of all time.
Renowned for its immersive narrative, detailed open world, and deep character development, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to attract new players nearly six years after its initial release. Its success is a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and the quality of content that Rockstar Games is known for. The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is lauded for its meticulous attention to detail, offering players the chance to explore hidden secrets and engage with a vibrant ecosystem that reacts dynamically to their actions.
Despite the wealth of content already available, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of Red Dead Redemption 3. If that isn’t coming soon – and let’s be honest, with GTA 6 scheduled to arrive next year and Rockstar’s monster back-catalog of blockbuster titles begging for some attention, we won’t see RDR3 for a long, long time – maybe Rockstar could at least humor fans with a 60 FPS patch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, much like how it surprised many with the 4K 60 FPS re-release of Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch last year.
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, revealed during its latest earnings call that the Red Dead series has collectively sold over 86 million units. The game’s sales have remained strong in the United States, maintaining its position as the second best-selling title in terms of both unit and dollar sales over the past six years.
Red Dead Redemption 2 refuses to fade into the sunset, and these sales numbers prove it. Let’s just hope Rockstar doesn’t keep us waiting forever to saddle up for another ride.
