Zelnick rejects 'missed opportunity' talk as RDR2 hits 85M sales
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick dismissed claims that Red Dead Online represents a missed opportunity, stressing that Red Dead Redemption 2’s multiplayer has been hugely successful with 85 million copies sold. He argues GTA Online remains the primary revenue driver, that Rockstar shifted focus toward GTA 6 and GTA Online, and notes Red Dead Online has seen limited updates since 2021 even as a recent Blood Money drop arrived; a full return of Red Dead Online remains unconfirmed while GTA Online continues to generate far more weekly revenue.
