Rockstar Games announced today that their videogame Red Dead Redemption 2 has accomplished the single-biggest opening weekend ever in the history of entertainment.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was also able to accomplish a number of milestones on Sony’s PlayStation Network. The title was the most pre-ordered full game ever on the network, and saw the biggest day one and three day full game sales on PSN.
