Red Dead Redemption has sold over 23 million copies since it was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010, according to Rockstar owner Take-Two.

Its sequel has fared even better. Released in 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One, and the following year for PC and Stadia, it has sold over 55 million copies to date.

According to research firm Circana (formerly NPD Group), it’s the second best-selling title in US over the past five years based on dollar sales.

A Nintendo Switch version of Red Dead Redemption 2 was spotted on the Brazilian ratings board’s website last month but hasn’t been officially announced.
