Take-Two Interactive has once again presented new business figures and, as usual, also commented on the successful Grand Theft Auto series. The still current part GTA 5 remains a box office hit and is getting closer to an insane mark.
It’s amazing how long Grand Theft Auto V has been selling like hot cakes, even many years after its original release. The original title released in 2013 is now available for three generations of consoles and is also successful – something that hardly any other title will ever be able to achieve.
Recently, publisher Take-Two Interactive, which also owns Rockstar Games, has once again presented new business figures, this time for the third quarter of the 2024 financial year. It confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V has improved further since the end of the previous quarter has sold five million copies – a consistently high insane value.
Even better: Grand Theft Auto V has now sold more than 195 million copies! The really crazy-seeming sales mark of 200 million units is getting closer and closer and is actually likely to be broken if the long-running action hit keeps up the pace it has set so far. GTA 6 won’t be released until 2025, so there’s certainly still room for this.
The western epic Red Dead Redemption 2 also remains successful and has increased its sales figures to 61 million copies sold since its release. The Red Dead series as a whole now has over 86 million units.
On the occasion of the business figures, CEO Strauss Zelnick also briefly commented on GTA 6, especially about the trailer leak. Zelnick was ultimately quite relaxed and doesn’t believe that the leak and early trailer release would have done any major damage to the company. However, the leak was of course quite disappointing for the development team itself.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to be released in 2025, but does not yet have a more specific release window.
“The Chop Shop” is the next major update for the long-running GTA Online.
