Red Dead Redemption 2 Sets New Steam Milestone Amid Price Drop
Rockstar’s western epic reaches unprecedented player numbers following significant Steam discount.
Rockstar Games‘ acclaimed western action title Red Dead Redemption 2 has achieved a new milestone on Steam, reaching 92,508 concurrent players on February 1. This record comes just one week after setting its previous high of 86,717 players, marking a significant surge in the game’s PC player base.
According to RockstarIntel, this unprecedented player count coincides with Steam’s current promotional period, where the game is available for $14.99, its lowest price point on the platform to date.
The achievement is particularly notable for a game that initially launched on consoles in 2018, followed by its PC release in 2019. Despite its age, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to attract new players through its combination of an extensive single-player campaign and the multiplayer component, Red Dead Online.

While Rockstar Games currently focuses on the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for release this fall, Red Dead Redemption 2 maintains its player base through its existing content. Though no major updates are planned for Red Dead Online or single-player expansions, the game’s current success on Steam demonstrates its lasting appeal to PC gamers.
