Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online Concurrent Player Count on Steam Hits All-Time High

Red Dead redemption 2 concurrent player count

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online concurrent player count on Steam just hit a new all-time high with 66,539 players. This is a surprising revelation given the fact that the game came out on the platform a little over three years ago.

Taking a look at statistics over at SteamDB, you’ll notice that concurrent player counts have been pretty consistent for a while now. As RDR2 is a huge game with tons of story and stuff to do, players who have begun the game weeks or even months ago are likely still enjoying the open-world experience that the game offers.

Then there’s Red Dead Online, the multiplayer mode of RDR2. It receives monthly updates, with the January update coming out just a few days ago. Even after you’ve finished the story, Red Dead Online gives players hours of even more content.

If we take a look at the concurrent player count since RDR2’s release, the game has actually performed quite well during the latter part of 2022, with the latest peak occurring just recently.

One possible reason for this upsurge is the game going on sale. RDR2 was one of the many featured games that went on sale during the Steam Winter Sale 2022 event, and with a 67% discount, it made the game a lot more affordable to those looking to pick the title up.

The game also sold really well throughout all of 2022, according to Steam. The site lists RDR2 as one of the platform’s top games in terms of gross revenue, with it being found in Gold Tier. For reference, Steam ranked the games based on tier from Platinum to Bronze, with Gold being the second-highest tier.

Whether you’re one of the 66,000+ players enjoying the game right now or not, this sort of staying power from a video game is an impressive sight to behold.
