Red Dead Redemption 2 has become the 3rd best selling game ever. This monumental milestone was revealed by Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive on Thursday evening.
During the company’s Q4 2026 quarterly earnings and Fiscal Year 2026 results presentation, CEO Strauss Zelnick explained just how well Rockstar Games’ titles have done over the past three months including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.
Between March and May, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold over 3 million copies. This is on average how much it typically sells each quarter. With those 3 million more copies, Red Dead Redemption 2 has now sold over 85 million copies worldwide. This is up from 82 million at the last count back in February.

This milestone is actually quite significant. With it Rockstar’s latest release has now become the 3rd best selling game of all time overtaking Wii Sports. That game had just shy of 83 million copies sold. Plus, most of those were included as a pack-in with one of the best selling consoles of all time, the Nintendo Wii. What Red Dead Redemption 2 has done here is a fantastic achievement for all involved in the game’s development.
CEO Zelnick also noted in the earnings call that the game sold more copies in the past fiscal year than any other year since launch. Most impressive.
In total, the Red Dead Series has now sold nearly 115 million copies, up from 110 million 3 months ago. This means the first game sold a few more copies too thanks to its new release on modern platforms.
In other recent Red Dead Redemption 2 news, the game was the most downloaded PS4 title last month. Also, it returned to the PlayStation Plus catalog this week.
