Red Dead Redemption 2 Hits Roughly 85 Million Copies and Enters All-Time Top Four

Overview

• Media compilations published on May 22, 2026 put Red Dead Redemption 2 at about 85 million copies, moving it past Wii Sports into the top four best-selling games.
• Rockstar and Take-Two previously reported roughly 79 million sales in a November 2025 financial filing, showing the title has continued to sell since that official update.
• Public best-seller lists mix sources with different methods, so totals can reflect units sold, units shipped, and console-bundled copies, which makes direct comparisons uneven.
• The game’s ongoing sales momentum underscores long-term demand for a 2018 release and the impact of re-releases and cross-platform availability on lifetime totals.
• Analysts and outlets note that major new releases, most notably Grand Theft Auto 6, could materially reshape these rankings as they accumulate sales.
