Red Dead Redemption 2 launched last Friday to predictably impressive physical sales, becoming the second biggest launch of 2018 so far – behind FIFA 19.
It’s been eight years since Red Dead Redemption 1 launched – and in that time Rockstar’s Western series has become a household name. Its no surprise, then, that RDR2 doubled the week one sales of its predecessor.
And that is, of course, without any digital sales counted – include those, and it will have outsold RDR1 even more.
