That’s a total of 65 million copies for this sequel alone, while the license reached 91 million plays.
Take Two Interactive makes an announcement for virtual cowboys
Take Two Interactive said in its financial report that they were satisfied with GTA Online and even Red Dead Redemption 2 who was voluntarily arrested back in 2022. The company has made it clear: there is no point in hoping that developers will work on major DLCs or even expansions, it’s over. However, some of the Rockstar teams keep the cowboy multiplayer mode alive with events, double XP sessions, etc. And Take Two is so happy that this kind of free content continues to be offered every month. It’s not easy to eat and it’s obviously enough to keep a player base.
