The best-selling in the United States in the past seven years! Red Dead Redemption 2 sales exceeded 77 million copies
According to the latest financial report data of Take-Two Interactive, the global cumulative sales of "Red Dead Redemption 2" have exceeded 77 million copies. This Western-themed action adventure masterpiece, which has been released for nearly seven years, still maintains strong sales momentum and has become Rockstar's most successful IP after the "GTA" series.
Although there is no news about the new series, the sales of "Red Dead Redemption" in the entire series have reached 104 million copies, of which "Red Dead Redemption 2" exclusively accounted for three-quarters of the share. What is even more amazing is that since the game exceeded 70 million sales in February 2025, it sold about 7 million copies in just a few months, successfully ranking sixth in the history of game sales. The financial report specifically pointed out that based on US dollar sales, this game has become the best-selling game product in the US market in the past seven years.
It is interesting that such sales results were achieved under many adverse factors: Rockstar raised the price of the game in the UK, Chile and other regions at the beginning of this year; the optimized version of this generation of consoles (PS5/Xbox Series X) has not been launched yet; the game content has not received major updates for a long time. Analysts believe that in the context of repeated delays in GTA6, players' continued enthusiasm for the Western theme may have contributed to this sales miracle.
At present, the industry generally speculates that "Red Dead Redemption 2" may usher in the next generation upgrade and is expected to be launched on the Nintendo Switch2 platform. With the prospects for the development of the third work in the series still unclear, the 2018 classic will likely continue to write its commercial legend. Take-Two's financial report shows that the game is still being sold at a rate of nearly one million copies per month, becoming the best example of the game's long-tail effect.
