Red Dead Redemption 2 has broken its record of concurrent players three years after its PC release. In addition to a wave of new players, Rockstar will have new rewards, seasonal outfits, and more for a limited time.
Thanks to SteamDB data, as discovered by Eurogamer, we know that on November 27, there were 66,492 concurrent players on Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam. Prior to its new record, Red Dead Redemption 2 previously had 55,000 players when it launched on Steam in 2019. The report suggests that the new wave of players was due to the Steam autumn sale that just happened.
In addition to having many new people logging in for the first time, Rockstar is getting into the Christmas spirit by adding new limited-time rewards and activities. Whenever someone completes a player bounty, they’ll earn 3x Character and Role XP, and those who complete The Covington Emerald will earn 2x money and XP from now until January 2.
