It is now the highest grossing weekend release of all time and second highest grossing game in its initial 3 days behind Grand Theft Auto V, another game made by Rockstar. (GTAV released on a Tuesday.)

RDR2 has also claimed highest pre-orders, day one sales, and 3 day sales Playstation 4 and is the highest critically reviewed game on PS4 and XBOX One with 97s on both consoles.
