Red Dead Redemption 2 becomes the third-best-selling game of all time

Red Dead Redemption 2 has crossed 85 million units sold-in, and that makes it the third-best-selling game of all time, passing Wii Sports. That is a remarkable milestone for a game that has not been treated like an active live-service pillar in recent years.

Red Dead Online stopped receiving major support as Rockstar focused resources on Grand Theft Auto 6, but the single-player game has clearly kept selling through reputation, word of mouth and the simple fact that it remains one of the most convincing open worlds ever built. The achievement also shows how unusual Rockstar’s catalog has become.

Grand Theft Auto 5 sits near the top of the industry, GTA 6 is preparing to dominate attention again in November, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is still moving like a cultural event years after launch. For players, the obvious frustration is that Rockstar has not announced an enhanced current-gen version. At 85 million, Arthur Morgan has probably earned one.
