Still, it could have been much, much higher if Rockstar would have launched a proper version tailored for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X – and off course Switch 2.
It’s actually a slightly bizarre story. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and was unanimously praised, won every available major award, and sold exceptionally well. One would imagine that Rockstar would have been overjoyed, and most people probably thought that the game would follow the same path as Grand Theft Auto V with updated versions for newer consoles.
But. as we know, that’s not how it turned out. They lost interest in supporting the game’s online component almost immediately, and even though a PC version was released, it still isn’t available on either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S/X – which are now approaching their respective replacements.
