Red Dead Redemption 2 has enjoyed perennial success since its original launch in 2018, and with consistently impressive sales in the years that have followed, it recently hit 57 million shipments worldwide. Meanwhile, the open world title has also been enjoying a massive resurgence on one platform in particular.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently being sold on Steam at a significant 67% discount, and that sale has contributed to an explosion in its engagement numbers. As per SteamDB, over the weekend, the game hit a concurrent user count of 77,655 players, which, incidentally, is the highest it has ever been for the title since it launched for PC in 2019. At the time of writing, the game is being played by 25,284 players- an impressive number for a game that’s half a decade old.
Of course, Rockstar is no stranger to older releases enjoying prolonged, sustained success, with Grand Theft Auto 5 still being one of the most widely played games around the world. Doubtless, the company will be expecting similar longevity from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, which is set to be unveiled in early December.

York is a professional animator who worked at Rockstar for 6 years, designing animations for both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Right now, all eyes are on the recently-released Grand Theft Auto 6, and given the fact that the game isn’t even out until 2025, that’s going to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Rockstar does, however, have another major, blockbuster IP in its stable in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the actor who played its protagonist is sure that we’ll see a third game in the Wild West franchise at some point in the future as well.
The recently-released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially released following a leak, prompting developer Rockstar Games to release the trailer earlier than it had planned.

Doom scrolling social media looks to have replaced the age-old pasttime of watching TV in GTA 6, which has prompted feelings of alternating despair and increasing irrelevance in me this morning. I barely understand how TikTok works in real-life, let alone a video game pastiche of it, and oh god, how did I get so old and craggy? I'm just here for the nice-looking flamingos, Rockstar, not a 24/7 twerk stream I can access from the palm of my hand. Of course, TV watching may yet have been preserved beyond what we've seen so far in the first trailer for GTA 6, but even if it's been consigned to the bin of modern history, there might yet be one light in the TikTok-esque darkness to make GTA 6's in-game social media network worthwhile.
The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is here, finally taking the covers off of Rockstar Games' ambitious open world title.
