Release Red Dead Redemption on Steam has collected less than 9 thousand players at its peak
The long-awaited release took place on Steam on October 29 Red Dead Redemption on PC, 14 years after its original console release. However, despite the game's high profile, its PC launch failed to attract a significant number of players. According to SteamDB, the maximum number of simultaneous players reached 8 people, which is significantly lower than the current figures Red Dead Redemption 2, which was played simultaneously by 43 thousand users over the past XNUMX hours.
This low result is explained, first of all, by the age of the game. In the years since its release, many fans have already managed to play it on consoles or through emulators. In addition, the price tag of $ 50 for a multi-year port without significant improvements caused confusion among users, given the lack of graphical and technical updates.
Despite the low online, player reviews on Steam have been impressively positive - Red Dead Redemption received 92% positive ratings. This shows that fans of the game, although not in huge numbers, appreciate its atmosphere and story, even without significant changes compared to the original. The release of the game showed that interest in the classic remains high, but many are not ready to pay full price for an unaltered port.
