And Grand Theft Auto V is also selling extremely well, with another five million copies sold in the last three months.<\/b>
\nJust three months ago, we reported something almost unbelievable: Rockstar’s western epic Red Dead Redemption 2 had become the fourth best-selling game of all time after surpassing Mario Kart 8 (including the Deluxe edition for Switch), with total sales of 79 million copies. So what has happened since then?
Well, Take-Two reveals in its quarterly report for October-December that Arthur Morgan’s adventures continue to attract digital cowboy-wannabees in droves, with an additional three million copies sold since then. This means that it now stands at 82 million units, which is less than a million behind Wii Sports. Unless something very drastic happens, everything points to Red Dead Redemption 2 being confirmed as the third best-selling game of all time when the next quarterly report is presented in three months.
After that, there are only two games ahead: Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft. It should be remembered that these two titles have been out for 13 and 15 years, respectively, and are available in a whole host of formats, while Red Dead Redemption 2 has only been released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Speaking of Grand Theft Auto V (released for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S\/X), it continues to perform well, selling five million copies since the last quarterly report and now totaling 225 million sold.
