Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold over 85 million copies worldwide as of March 2026, making it the fourth best-selling game of all time behind Tetris, Minecraft, and Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) [1, 2]. It surpassed Wii Sports in all-time sales during this period. GTA 5 remains the best-selling title among these, with approximately 230 million copies sold to date [1, 2].
The game experienced its strongest sales year since launch in the most recent 12-month period, showing sustained player demand years after release [1, 2]. Despite fan calls for a 60 frames-per-second patch on current-generation consoles, Rockstar Games has not issued an update to improve frame rates [1].
Insiders have confirmed ongoing development of Red Dead Redemption 3. Dan Houser, Rockstar Games co-founder, stated, "Red Dead Redemption 3 will probably happen," while Roger Clark, actor for Arthur Morgan, added, "I’m certain fans will see Red Dead Redemption 3 one day, but I have no idea when" [1].
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, plans six game releases in fiscal year 2027, which begins in April 2026. These do not include GTA 6, Judas, or BioShock 4; the latter two remain without release dates and are expected later [2]. CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed frustration over BioShock's development, saying, "I am deeply disappointed in how BioShock development has gone" [2].
In its financial report, Take-Two announced net bookings of $1.58 billion for Q4 and $6.72 billion for the full fiscal year, a 19% increase over the previous year [2]. GTA 6 is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, marking the next major launch for the company [2].
