Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that continues to be talked about for years. Rockstar has successfully created one of the most captivating and expansive open worlds in AAA gaming history, and fans remember it with the same fondness as The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Technological advancements enabled Rockstar to meticulously design this vast world, but the true credit goes to the actors. The cast delivered performances that allowed players to immerse themselves in this universe almost immediately. This is a testament to the casting team and their ability to unite such talented individuals.

On social media, fans are discussing a recent official update on Red Dead Redemption 2, generating excitement with new information directly from the source.

During this week’s earnings call from Take-Two, we learned some interesting details about some of the publisher’s major games (especially those under their Rockstar label). For instance, it appears that Grand Theft Auto 6 is on schedule for its November 19 release date, with no further delays expected. Additionally, it was revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 has become the third-best-selling game of all time globally, marking a significant achievement.

Fans are naturally celebrating this news: “Rockstar’s three most recent games are set to be among the three best-selling games of all time,” one fan remarked. Another added: “I know GTA 6 will eventually be first, but the gap between Minecraft and GTA 5 compared to RDR2 is enormous. I genuinely believe GTA 6 is the only game that could potentially reach number one in the near future.”

Others are making comparisons with GTA: “Selling 3 million copies every quarter versus 5 million copies every quarter for GTA 5 (which stood at 220M-225M last February). RDR2 shows better growth relative to its units sold, but it’s clear that GTAV has been around for half a decade longer and is more accessible even on lower-end devices.”

Some fans appreciate the game’s legacy but express disappointment regarding the multiplayer aspect, especially when compared to the ever-popular GTA Online: “Fantastic game. It’s just a shame they let the multiplayer side fade away. I would still play it today if they cared about the multiplayer.”

Regarding the online component, if time had not been a constraint, Rockstar could have likely enhanced Red Dead Online to make it a more valuable asset for the company. However, given how much revenue GTA Online generates consistently, it’s understandable why the studio would prioritize their efforts towards GTA.

No matter how the online aspect turned out, the campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2 will always be remembered as one of the greatest.
