This saw Red Dead Redemption 2 surpass Nintendo’s (NTDOF) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has sold 78.02 million units. Still above it are Nintendo’s Wii Sports at number three with 82.9 million units sold, Take-Two’s Grand Theft Auto V at number two with 220 million units sold, and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Minecraft at number one with 350 million units sold.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s rise to the number four spot of highest-selling games is worth noting, as the game originally came out on October 26, 2018. Reaching such a milestone more than seven years after its release shows the staying power of the game. The same can be said about Grand Theft Auto V and its number two position on the list. This also means investors can likely expect similar long-term success from Grand Theft Auto VI, which was recently delayed to November 19, 2026.
