Fizziology looked back at this trend for other games, and it found that Red Dead Redemption 2 had 1.5-times more people talking about taking a day off than military shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It also had 3-times more than God of War or Spider-Man, and a whopping 12-times more than Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now, we can’t confirm that people talking about this are actually going through with it, but I would expect to see some correlation with sales of these games.
When it comes to the social-media conversation, 85 percent involves men ages 18-to-35. And Fizziology determined this by analyzing more than 800,000 Red Dead-related tweets.
Beyond anyone playing hooky, Red Dead Redemption 2 is creating a lot of buzz on platforms like Twitter. Fizziology notes that it is averaging 14,000 mentions per hour following its launch.
