Red Dead Redemption 2 Sales Estimate: ~36,397,215 Copies
Red Dead Redemption 2 ships 5 screenshots, 2 trailers, a 222-character short description and a 1,528-character About This Game section. Below is where each of those four numbers sits among the 82 released Adventure pages in our corpus, and what those pages most often get flagged for.
The four numbers, in context
These four are raw Steam facts, counted from the store page itself. Everything else on this page is a comparison against other pages, never a judgement of the game.
Screenshots
Below the cohort median5
No page among the released Adventure pages we analyzed carries fewer screenshots. The median is 10.
Five screenshots is the minimum Steam accepts on a store page, so this gallery sits at the floor of what Steam allows.
Trailers and videos
At the cohort median2
About 45% of the released Adventure pages we analyzed carry fewer videos. The median is 2.
Steam plays the first video before the screenshot carousel. Across the whole corpus, released pages average 2.4 videos and pages that are not out yet average 1.2.
Short description
Below the cohort median222 characters
About 39% of the released Adventure pages we analyzed have a shorter short description. The median is 231 characters.
Steam’s short description field holds up to 300 characters and is the text shown in search, on wishlists and in the app. Longer is not automatically better: across our corpus we could not separate pages above and below 250 characters on any measure we trust.
About This Game text
Below the cohort median1,528 characters
About 5% of the released Adventure pages we analyzed have a shorter About This Game section. The median is 4,088 characters.
This is the character count of the About This Game block exactly as Steam’s API returns it, markup included, which is how every page in the cohort was measured.
A percentile here describes what other store pages do; it is not a score, and this page does not publish one. Steam does not rank games on screenshot count, video count or description length, so a number below the median is a difference, not a fault.
Estimated sales and revenue
An estimate, not a fact: Valve publishes no sales numbers, so this is the Boxleiter method -- review count times a copies-per-review range -- applied to the review count Steam reports for Red Dead Redemption 2. The honest output is a wide range.
Estimated copies sold
24,264,810–48,529,620
808,827 Steam reviews × 30–60 copies per review, the published range for this kind of game.
Estimated gross revenue
$1455.6M–$2911.3M
That range of copies at the $59.99 US list price, before Steam's cut, discounts, refunds, returns and regional pricing -- the developer's take is well below this.
Method in one line: on Steam, total reviews track total sales closely enough that a published per-genre multiplier turns one into a rough range of the other. How the Boxleiter method works · Run the estimate for any Steam game
Which pages Red Dead Redemption 2 is measured against
Steam lists this page under Action and Adventure, and the game is released, so the comparison set is every Adventure page in our corpus at the same release stage.
Cohort size: 82 pages. Based on 82 of 405 Steam store pages analyzed by Steam Page Analyzer, 2026-02-10 to 2026-07-30.
Percentiles are read as the lowest position consistent with a number, so a value shared by many pages -- five screenshots, one trailer -- reads low rather than being flattered by the tie. That is why every line above says how many pages carry fewer, never how many carry more.

What pages like this most often get told to fix
These are the issues our analyzer raised most often across the 161 Adventure pages in the corpus. They describe the cohort, not Red Dead Redemption 2 -- we do not publish the findings from any individual page here.
The two numbers are the rates our issue generator produced before and after it changed on 2026-07-01. The change moved some rates by more than 40 points, so we publish the range instead of an average that would describe neither.
These rates come from a wider set than the percentiles above: the narrower cohort had pages from only one version of the issue generator, which cannot be published as a range. Based on 161 of 405 Steam store pages analyzed by Steam Page Analyzer, 2026-02-10 to 2026-07-30.

What this page does not say
No score. We do score pages inside the product, but the scores stored across this corpus come from three different versions of the instrument: two rubric fixes shipped on 2026-07-26, and an issue-generator change around 2026-07-01 that moved the corpus mean by more than six points. A number from March and a number from July do not mean the same thing, so publishing either one here would be publishing a number we cannot stand behind.
No tag counts. The stored user-tag list came back empty on all 405 pages in this corpus, so we cannot say how many tags Red Dead Redemption 2 uses, which ones, or how that compares. The only tag-related number on this page is how often our analyzer raised a tag problem across the cohort, which is a different measurement.
No exact sales figure. Valve does not publish sales, and the estimate above is a range built from a public review count and a published copies-per-review ratio, not sales data. The true number can sit outside the range. The only price on this page is Steam's US list price before discounts; the discounted price at the moment of the read is never used.
Nothing about the game. Everything here describes a store page. It is not a review, and a page that differs from its cohort is not thereby worse.
