RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2: It Looks Like Some Lucky Users Are Already Playing The Online Mode

Although Red Dead Redemption 2 didn't manage to match Grand Theft Auto V's score when it comes to retail sell-through during its first three days, it is the second-highest grossing entertainment launch of all time next to Rockstar's last title with over $725 million in global sales during its launch weekend. Basing on rough sales data, RDR2 has already eclipsed the lifetime sales of the original's 15 million.

The fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 will feature a Grand Theft Auto V-like online mode will surely boost the overall sales numbers, as the beta tests are expected to happen at any moment now. During this month’s Take-Two Interactive earnings call, the company CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that the initial plans haven't changed and the online mode is still on track to debut in late November.

According to DualShockers' new report, a Red Dead Redemption 2 Xbox achievement Breakout is showing up actively, meaning that at least 0.01% of total Xbox One Red Dead Redemption 2 players are currently enjoying the game’s online mode. The fact that there's only 4 days left in November, it would be understandable to anticipate some official announcements regarding the online mode very soon.
