Red Dead Redemption 2 has just crossed a whole course in its history.
According to the most recent financial results of the publisher Take-Two Interactive, the Rockstar Games game has passed at 77 million copies since its release in October 2018, which now makes it the sixth best-selling video game of all time.
The open world game has had an excellent start from its launch, generating more than US $ 725 million in income during its first weekend. On the last quarter only, Red Dead Redemption 2 added four million copies to its total. Not bad for a seven -year -old title!
This feat is placed right behind Mario map 8 (Nintendo) and Ark: Survival Evolved (Wildcard studio) in the world ranking, in front of several emblematic titles, including The Sims. The whole of the franchise Red Dead has now exceeded 104 million copies sold internationally.
Taking place before the events of Red Dead Redemptionthe game follows Arthur Morgan, member of the Van der Linde clan, at a time when the “Wild West” saw his last moments. Praised by criticism (and by Weigh on Start), the title has won more than 175 awards for “game of the year” and has established itself as one of the most striking narrative experiences of the last decade.
Rumors suggest that a version for the Nintendo Switch 2 could see this year later, a sign that Arthur Morgan’s adventure could still seduce new players. It should also be noted that Rockstar Games is about to launch Grand Theft Auto 6then the studio has work to do.
