RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 SALES PC
Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PC on November 5th, 2019, which included the online mode, so Steam monthly active figures prior to December 2020 combine the two games. According to Steam Charts, Red Dead Online had an average of 11,324 active players in December 2020, with a peak of 18,417. Red Dead Online came out of beta in May 2019, finally adding poker, as well as dynamic events, new free-roam and co-op missions, a new showdown mode, among others.ĭespite bringing in more things to do, Red Dead Online still failed to attract new players, as well as in recent months. While the game featured the huge open world map from Red Dead Redemption 2, some features were missing or otherwise stripped back, including various bugs, an imbalanced reward system, and the omission of mini-games like poker. The Red Dead Online beta first released publically on November 30th, 2018, though players who’d bought the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 or played during the launch month got access to the game a few days earlier. Red Dead Online Active Player Figures: On the Decline? Red Dead Online So, just how many people play Red Dead Online in 2021? Let’s dive into that very question. From almost completely empty lobbies to players dressing up as clowns to protest against the lack of updates the game has received, Red Dead Online hardly seems to be booming with life. Unfortunately, Red Dead Redemption’s 2 rich and interactive world didn’t quite transfer as much to Red Dead Online, and some players deemed the game underwhelming and lacking at the time.Īlthough more content has been added to Red Dead Online over the last couple of years, it hasn’t been enough to shake players’ sour first impressions of the game. Take-Two's sales report also revealed the news that Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed again.Red Dead Online was heavily anticipated due to the massive success of the single-player campaign, Red Dead Redemption 2, which was both the best-selling game of 2018 in the United States and Rockstar’s second highest-selling game to date. The game has already sold 135 million copies to become one of the most successful games in history, and it's set to grow even bigger when its next-gen editions are released in 2021.

In addition to this, a new edition of GTA V for PS5 and Xbox Series X is also in the works. GTA Online will likely see another jolt after that, as Rockstar is releasing a free-to-play standalone version of the game exclusively on PS5 for a few months, after which it will come to Xbox Series X. It hasn't been officially announced, but management said it will include a new area and a new take on the fan-favorite heists experience.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 SALES UPDATE
This will presumably be helped in part by the biggest update yet for GTA Online, which is coming soon. In fact, Take-Two said it expects the game to reach a new all-time high for microtransaction spending during the current fiscal year. This fiscal second quarter was also GTA Online's best-ever second quarter in its lifetime based on active players and new players.ĭespite its age, Take-Two is not expecting GTA Online to slow down soon. Moving to GTA V and GTA Online, microtransaction spending in GTA Online was ahead of Take-Two's forecast for the period (which it never disclosed in the first place). And more content is coming to Red Dead Online down the track, Take-Two said. In total, Red Dead Redemption II has sold 34 million copies to date. Additionally, microtransaction sales-which are called "recurrent consumer spending" at Take-Two-rose year-over-year for Red Dead Online by 96 percent, exceeding expectations. In conjunction with the spike in sales, Take-Two reported that new player growth rose by 47 percent during the period. It would appear that, like many other games, Red Dead Redemption II enjoyed a surge in sales as people continued to stay home during COVID-19 lockdowns. This include 106 percent growth in full-game sales, Take-Two said. Red Dead Redemption 2 net bookings-that is, how much money Take-Two made from the game-jumped by 124 percent during the July-September quarter. Take-Two, the company that owns Rockstar Games and 2K Games, released its latest earnings report this week, and in particular, Red Dead Redemption II and Grand Theft Auto V are doing very well.
