GTA 5 Moves Another 5 Million Copies as GTA 6 Launch Nears

Grand Theft Auto V continues to sell at a remarkable pace even as its successor prepares to launch. During Take-Two Interactive's latest financial update, the publisher confirmed that another 5 million copies of the game were sold in the previous 90 days. The title has now reached 235 million units sold lifetime, part of a broader Grand Theft Auto franchise total that has surpassed 480 million copies.

Several factors appear to be driving the ongoing sales. Frequent discounts on digital storefronts make the game accessible at low prices, and bundles that include Shark Cards for GTA Online are often priced below what the in-game currency would cost on its own. The game has also been released across three console generations, expanding its potential audience significantly over the years.

GTA Online continues to draw a large player base, and anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI is likely contributing additional momentum. The sustained performance places GTA V just behind Tetris and Minecraft in the all-time sales rankings.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has also reached a new milestone, with 89 million copies sold. That figure puts it ahead of titles like Wii Sports, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and PUBG: Battlegrounds.

As for Grand Theft Auto VI, Take-Two described preorders ahead of the November 19 launch as unprecedented across the industry, though specific numbers have not been released. Preloading is now available, and the game will be ready to play at midnight next week wherever you are.
