Well, people love their video games and love their video game based pornography even more. The success of games like Skyrim, Overwatch, and others triggered the creation of video game based porn. We saw some masterpieces created for Overwatch, Skyrim, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, and now, it looks like gamers are going wild for the wild west.
The release of Red Dead Redemption 2 increased searches for wild west porn and related terms on Porn Hub. There is no proper Red Dead Redemption Porn so searching the term on the website only brings up the official trailer.
But that doesn’t stop people from searching for the goods. Red Dead Redemption searches went up 731% while related search terms went up to 745%.
RDR2’s western setting and subject matter seems to have gotten players all hot and bothered. Not only did searches for the game title increase, but other related terms like “western”, “cowboy” and “wild west” all saw massive gains following the launch of the game.
People searched for related terms: ‘western’ is up 489%, ‘cowboy’ is up 189%, and ‘wild west’ is up a whopping 745%, all from October 25 to 28.
According to Porn Hub, men are “proportionately 1165% more likely” to look up “Red Dead” compared to women. Meanwhile, people between the age of 18 and 34 are 93% likely to search for Red Red Redemption 2 porn as compared to those above this age.
Our statisticians found that searches containing “red dead” began to increase on Pornhub several days before the October 26th release, as the final launch trailer and game details hit the internet. Searches continued to grow following the launch, reaching 731% above average on October 28th.
Over the past few years, we have seen Porn Hub take an interest in creating video games based scenes. In fact, the website also tried to sponsor an eSports team not too long ago.
