A week before the release of a very intriguing Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy Definitive Edition, Take-Two Interactive announced its latest financial results. And in the end, GTA V wins.
The shock is the same every quarter. GTA V shows an increase in sales to turn green any publisher trying to follow the model or forcing game services to develop on their teams. Once again difficult not to be knocked out what Take-Two Interactive reveals, the parent company of Rockstar. Because the game from 2013 once again attracted an incredible number of players. Grand Theft Auto V is now peaking with over 155 million copies sold worldwide.
And if you’ve followed its progress well, you’ll understand that more than 5 million units have been sold since this summer. In 3 months. While it went through PlayStation Now, Xbox Game Pass and even offered a week in the Epic Games Store. And while the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S versions arrive in March 2022. A “madman,” say the young people who keep flocking to GTA Online.
GTA and Red Dead Redemption gallop on
This impressive new leap takes the series to new heights. Take-Two confirms that overall GTA now weighs 355 million copies. The license is behind the games Mario, Tetris, Call of Duty and Pokémon.
Another large rockstar cartridge, more recent: Red Dead Redemption II. The open-world western, which has been available since 2018, has in turn exceeded 39 million units sold. As the second best-selling game in the US in the past 3 years (as of January 1, 2021), Arthur Morgan’s journey brings the series to the known 62 million copies. Again, we can say that respect is required.
Remember, Rockstar will be launching Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy Definitive Edition on November 11th. A compilation for the 20th anniversary of the revolutionary GTA III, which will end with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in a topspin version. This on PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. How much will it be perfect cardboard? And that GTA VI can take its time?
