Red Dead Redemption 2 Sold-In more than 23 million units to date, online performance better than GTA Online
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Possibly the game of the generation for me, which is totally unexpected because I'm not a huge fan of R*, but RDR2 is way too good.
The Last of Us Part2 might take it's place but RDR2 will still remain one of the GOATs.

But... the controls?...
Joking, it deserves those sales and it's one of my favorite games this gen. Well done Rockstar!

I know it's a large number but I honestly expected something truly silly like 40 million after three months on the market, the massive ad campaign, the crazy MC scores and the all around general praise, especially considering Smash sold over 12 million copies on a single platform with a much smaller install base in just over three weeks.
Still, great numbers though. Congratulations to all the developers who gave so much of their lives to bring the World of RDR2 to life!

Absolute monster, and well deserved, it's one of the best games this generation. Congrats to everyone who busted their ass on it.
Congrats Rockstar. Every sale is well deserved.
RDO is head and shoulderd ahead of what GTAO offered at the beginning, but more things to do would be appreciated

I wonder what the online retention will be like. I have a hard time imagining as many people enjoy playing it regularly as people do playing GTA:O. But I've never played either so who am I to say?
I hope the success of the game encourages them to remake the first game as stand-alone DLC. I imagine a fantasy campaign like Undead Nightmare is more likely but that's not what I want the most. Then again, if online play and retention is strong, will they bother with single-player DLC? The success of GTA:O caused them to deprioritize that kind of content for GTA:V. I wonder what it means for RDR?
I guess it's kind of fun to imagine how they will support RDR2 from here because there are a lot of different possibilities and only some I'm interested in.

Glad to see this. Well deserved and I really would love a RDR3 at some point down the line, so this is nice to see. The RDR games suit my tastes more than the GTAs do.
Also glad to see the push back on this thread against the contrarian backlash against the game. It has its faults, but in totality its one of the best games of the generation.

Anecdotally, I played GTA Online for 2 or 3 years after launch, almost on a daily basis, until the inflation reached bolivarian republic levels and the game became a Saints Row wannabe, and just a couple months after it was released I think I'm done with RDR O
It is just not fun
I'm not sure the 5% of the people who have a problem with the controls really make that much of a sales difference.
Well deserved. Top 3 of this generation for me and that's saying something. I'll admit that I was worried pre release that the games single player would have been an after thought after the success of GTAO. Happy to be proven wrong and got to experience this masterpiece. Now for GTA6...
"But but archaic mission structure!!!"
A near perfect game with an excellent storyline, improving the already great story of RDR1.
I really couldn't have asked for more. It's completely deserved.

Curious to see how it keeps performing going forward. For instance the PlayStation Store sales charts for January just came out and it was barely in the top 20 in Europe and was #7 in the US.
Yeah that's me too, I dislike the controls but I love everything else, enough that it's hard to play other games without thinking that it makes every other game look rushed.
Same. I beat the campaign but I'm saving a ton of unseen content for PC.
Have we had any reports on the staffing finances since the launch period? What were the goals for their bonuses etc? Hope they all ended up making bank, I remember the reports that the employee bonuses were pretty hefty at R*.
Also JEFFREY GRUBB Bioshock Infinite is sure doing well for itself huh.

I'm really enjoying it still, I haven't played online yet but will eventually. I'd love to see some QoL updates for singleplayer though.
It was on sale on psn last week in NA as well.
Still one of the best games ever made. R* deserves all of this.
I am surprised the Online is successful though. Barely any content in it.

It is clearly because of its high quality. Why else would a wild west game sell this much? It's not a very popular genre. Every game has problems of course.
But, but but...Era says it's bad so universally it's bad. 23 million people bought copies within the first week given the logic here.
It's been a little better after the initial rush. Haven't heard/seen as much racism or toxic attitudes in general, and the reduced grind was very welcome. The varmint rifle is still stupidly effective the last time I played.
Overall it leaves a whole lot to be desired, but I'm sure they'll add more meat to it eventually.

Don't forget that infamous "Ubisoft have surpassed Rockstar " post lol.
Era gonna Era.
Great story telling and word. Too bad the controls suck ass and freedom is an illusion. The online portion is straight up garbage and a money grab.
