Red Dead Redemption 2 Reaches One Million Sales In December – News

To develop titles as expensive as Red Dead Redemption 2, the studio Rockstar Games is banking on a two-stage commercial strategy. First an output on consoles, then the publication of a PC version. Apart from the development comfort that such a method implies, it also helps to boost sales.

This is precisely what explains to us today the SuperData institute which has just published its report on figures from the global gaming industry. Thanks to the release of its Steam version, Red Dead Redemption 2 experienced a little revival in from 401,000 sales in November to one million in December. The record adds that the fact of having announced well in advance that this exclusivity would only be one month on the Epic Games Store and the Rockstar Games Launcher pushed some consumers to wait before their purchase. Add to that the Christmas party and you have a very good end of the year for the American studio.
