Most of the gaming community is currently waiting for the GTA 6 trailer as it has been more than ten years since they last got a look at a new GTA game. Rockstar Games announced earlier this month that they’ll officially release the game's first trailer to the public in early December. However, with the huge ongoing Steam sale right now, it’s Red Dead Redemption 2 that’s on players’ minds at the moment.
The game is currently seeing a massive player boost (so much so that it broke the RDR2 Steam player count record) since they’re all heading over to Rockstar’s most immersive world. Red Dead Redemption 2 features amazing scope and a fantastic recreation of the Old West wilderness. It explores the story of an aging cowboy named Arthur Morgan who eventually accepts his own place in the world as the Van der Linde gang he is a part of starts falling apart.
While it can get quite slow, RDR2 is still one of the best stories that have been ever told, with its beauty and excitement. When it comes to its epic open-world nature, it’s safe to say that it greatly surpasses the likes of other games, such as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, GTA 5, and The Elder Scrolls Skyrim.
Now that Rockstar has revealed that the first GTA 6 trailer will arrive in December, players are turning their attention back to its past games, and RDR2 is definitely at the top of that list. Many players feel like revisiting the open world that might possibly be enhanced by the introduction of brand-new hardware that can be purchased from the best Black Friday deals.
Once you merge that price with a big Steam sale reducing two-thirds of the original price, then players can finally see why Red Dead Redemption has broken the record of its Steam player count. According to the tracking site Steam Charts, November 25 saw a completely new all-time record high with a concurrent player count of 72,628, breaking its former high which was 70,787 achieved in January 2023.
Those are some impressive stats that are enough to make players want to go for a horseback ride around RDR2’s world or grab a few drinks in an underground tavern. If you also feel like diving into the game, then it’s 67% off on Steam till November 28, Tuesday. It costs around $19.79 / £19.79 for the copy, and there’s also 70% off on the ultimate edition, costing only $29.99 / £26.99 if you feel like getting all the extra bits.
Which RDR2 feature might show up in GTA 6?
Since the game was initially announced in February 2022, GTA 6 leaks and rumors have been running rampant all over social media, including the 90 early development videos that were leaked. After that, nearly everyone has something to share regarding what players can expect from the game, some of it sure does look accurate. Lately, a particular leak was going around which claimed that GTA 6 might feature RDR2’s aging and hair-growing system.
This means that as players progress through the highly anticipated game, their character will grow old and his hair will turn white and even grow. If this leak turns out to be true, this can be an exciting addition to the game. Furthermore, the rumor of Lucia having a child can lead to a crucial Red Dead Redemption 2 element and allow Rockstar Games to introduce a more emotional story in the GTA franchise.
