Overview
- Red Dead Redemption 2 has set a new record on Steam for concurrent players.
- The latest peak reached 92, 508 simultaneous players.
- The game is currently available for a promotional price of $14.99 on Steam.
Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to captivate gamers, recently establishing a new high for concurrent players on Steam. Originally launched on PlayStation and Xbox in 2018, this acclaimed title arrived on PC a year later, successfully maintaining its popularity. Like other Rockstar Games releases, the game has justifiably earned its place as a staple in the gaming community over the years.
With outstanding reviews that have positioned it among the greatest video games of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2 is especially lauded for its expansive single-player narrative. While it may not rival the staggering user base of GTA Online, the online multiplayer component, Red Dead Online, still boasts a devoted following. The combination of its engaging single-player experience and robust multiplayer mode helps to ensure a steady influx of both veteran and new players.
According to RockstarIntel, the game recently surpassed its previous user record of 86, 717 concurrent players, achieving a new milestone of 92, 508 on February 1. The surge in player numbers is attributed largely to an ongoing sale that offers a significant discount on Steam.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Achieves Record-Breaking Player Count on Steam
- New record: 92, 508 concurrent players on Steam.
The recent sale has led to Red Dead Redemption 2’s price drop to just $14.99, marking the lowest price for the game on the platform to date. This significant reduction has prompted many Steam users to seize the opportunity, as reflected in the impressive spike in concurrent player count. While future sales may further reduce the price and entice additional players, it remains uncertain if this will lead to a new record.
As Rockstar focuses its efforts on developing Grand Theft Auto 6, expected to launch this fall, content updates for Red Dead Online appear to be limited, with no major new expansions in the pipeline for the single-player experience either. This lack of fresh content means that achieving higher concurrent player records may depend primarily on ongoing sales. Nonetheless, it’s evident that Red Dead Redemption 2 will continue to be a beloved title for countless players for years to come.
