Red Dead Redemption 2 Sales Reach 89 Million Copies Worldwide

Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to achieve impressive sales nearly eight years after its release. According to Take-Two Interactive’s latest financial update, Rockstar Games’ acclaimed Western adventure has sold approximately 89 million copies worldwide as of September 30, 2026.

The figure puts the game within touching distance of the 90 million milestone and highlights its lasting popularity despite Rockstar’s upcoming focus on Grand Theft Auto 6. Released in October 2018, RDR2 has maintained strong demand through its cinematic storytelling, expansive open world, and detailed portrayal of the American frontier.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Closing In on 90 Million Sales

The latest figure represents an increase of more than two million copies from the previous reported milestone of 87 million in August 2026. RDR2 has also added approximately 10 million sales since November 2025, when its total stood at 79 million.

The wider Red Dead Redemption franchise has now surpassed 118 million copies sold, with the second installment accounting for the majority of that total. These figures were included in Take-Two’s latest investor presentation, released alongside its fiscal second-quarter 2027 results.

 

While Rockstar Games prepares for the November 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to attract new buyers. Its 89 million sales also put it among the best-selling games ever released, although it remains behind GTA 5 in Rockstar’s sales rankings.

The latest milestone is particularly notable because RDR2 has continued selling millions of copies without a new mainline installment or a major next-generation re-release. With GTA 6 approaching, Rockstar now has two major franchises generating substantial interest ahead of its biggest release in years.
