Red Dead Redemption 2 sets records at launch

Rockstar Games has announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 has achieved a record opening weekend.

With over $725 million in worldwide retail sell-through during its first three days, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the second-highest grossing entertainment launch of all time next to Rockstar Games’ previously released title, Grand Theft Auto V, which achieved over $1 billion in retail sell-through in three days.

Sony Interactive Entertainment also says that Red Dead Redemption 2 set new records on the PlayStation Network for highest ever pre-orders, highest day one sales and highest sales for the first three days in market.

Red Dead Redemption 2 follows Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on Xbox One and PS4.
