Take-Two said the game posted its strongest annual sales since 2018 as Rockstar’s western reached 85 million copies and moved ahead of Wii Sports.
- Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption has reached 85 million copies sold, surpassing Wii Sports to become the third best-selling game ever released.
- Although GTA sold 230 million copies, Red Dead Redemption continues to show remarkable success, selling more copies in the last 12-month period than in any similar timeframe since its launch year.
- Fans have requested updates for PlayStation and Xbox Series consoles, yet the game remains locked at a lower frame rate, a decision some observers find notable given the ongoing popularity.
- Former Rockstar Games writer Dan Houser noted a sequel 'will probably happen,' while actor Roger Clark, who played Arthur Morgan, said he is 'certain' fans will see Red Dead Redemption expanded 'one day.'
- Rockstar Games currently focuses its resources on GTA and GTA Online, though the company may eventually revisit its iconic Wild West franchise once these major projects are completed.
