But although the release is so long ago, it’s making headlines againn. The title from Rockstar Games has introduced one in the recent past new record. We’ll tell you what it’s all about.
Red Dead Redemption 2 on record hunt
At the beginning of the new year, it’s the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 (buy now €25.50 / €56.99 ) succeeded, one new record on Steam to set up. On January 8, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. German time, more than 69,000 players at the same time in the virtual western world, more than ever before. It was actually quite accurate 69,134 userswho were active at the same time. The previous best of Red Dead Redemption 2 comes from the November 2022 and was 66,113 players.
What is the reason for the current popularity?
The one reason for that current rise of Red Dead Redemption 2 there probably isn’t. Rather, it seems to be a interplay of various factors to act. An important role will certainly play that RDR 2 was drastically reduced in price as part of the big Winter Sale on Steam and thus much cheaper was to have. That was even enough for a place in the current top 10 Steam sales charts. Many players who had previously shyed away from making a purchase struck during this phase and the numbers pushed up.
Furthermore, Rockstar Games has brought some in the past few weeks interesting in-game events at the start, which should also have contributed to a boost in popularity. Among other things, there were several Bonuses for gaining experience points, which are very likely to have encouraged some fans to play again. The fact is that Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently more popular than ever, at least on Steam. Even at the launch in December 2019, there were never more than 55,000 players active at the same time.
