Red Read Redemption 2 may have been released on PC back in 2019, but it’s still very popular. So popular, in fact, that the game has just set a new record peak concurrent player count.
The epic western from Rockstar has enjoyed consistently high player counts over the years, typically bringing in over 20,000 concurrent players every day on Steam. That’s despite Rockstar announcing in 2022 that they would no be releasing any more major updates for the game’s multiplayer.
Right now the game is enjoying a pretty substantial 75% discount on Steam, bringing the price down to £15. That’s probably why the game just achieved the highest number of concurrent players in its PC history, peaking at an impressive 99,993 players 3 days ago according to SteamDB.
When Red Dead Redemption 2 first launched on PC it managed to hit a peak concurrent player count of around 55,000.
The game goes on sale frequently for £19.79, but on January 23rd it dropped to just £15, the lowest it has ever been on Steam. For that, you get one of the greatest games ever and potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay. Not a bad deal, really.
