Expected To Enter Top 3 In A Few More Months!

Story Highlight
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold a total of 77 million units since its release.
  • The game is now tied with Mario Kart 8 as the best 5th best-selling game of all time.
  • Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and current-gen ports should allow the game to sell even more copies and aim for the 3rd-best-selling spot.

Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 is quickly approaching its 7th anniversary. The game continues to be a benchmark for all open-world releases, and many are even planning to compare GTA 6 with the title next year.

Although Rockstar Games fans are now diverting their attention to GTA 6, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to enjoy a steady stream of new sales each quarter. In fact, the game’s latest sales update makes it the 5th best-selling title in the industry.

Why it matters: Last year, this title became gaming’s 7th best-seller of all time with 61 million units sold. As such, an additional 16 million units have been sold in just over a year.

Take-Two’s latest earnings call confirmed a new sales figure for the latest Rockstar Games release. As reported by videotech, the game has now sold 77 million copies in total, putting it neck and neck with Mario Kart 8.

This means that both titles are currently tied for the spot of gaming’s 5th best-selling title. However, with Mario Kart World and the Nintendo Switch 2 being released two months ago, Mario Kart 8 will likely fall behind by the end of the year.

On the other hand, Red Dead Redemption 2 is expected to continue selling more copies. At its current pace, the game could soon become gaming’s 3rd best-selling release of all time after exceeding a total of 83 million units sold.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is expected to receive a current-gen upgrade at some point in the near future.

The game is also expected to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, which should bring in another huge wave of players to the series. If things work out as expected, the 3rd best-seller spot should be achieved by the end of 2025.
