Right ahead of the world becoming fully obsessed with GTA 6, Red Dead Redemption 2 has crossed another momentous milestone. The Western open-world playground is now the third best-selling game ever, according to Rockstar Games owner Take-Two.

This incredible achievement is noted in Take-Two's latest earnings report. A slide on the Red Dead series points out just how well the historic sandboxes have done for Rockstar, with a bullet-point on Red Dead Redemption 2's sales. Apparently, the game has shifted over 85 million copies to date.
