Red Dead Redemption 2 Reaches New Player-Count Peak Four Years After PC Launch

There are more cowboys and cowgirls checking out the wild west in Red Dead Redemption 2 than ever on PC. The Rockstar game saw over 77,000 players on November 26–a new high-water mark for the open-world title focusing on Arthur Morgan.

This surge of players seems tied to a Black Friday sale for Red Dead Redemption 2, according to Twitter/X user videotechuk_. They pointed out the new player-count peak; SteamDB backed up the statement by showcasing 77,655 playing the game yesterday. That’s a new record for the action-adventure title and comes four years after it launched on PC in November 2019.
