Grand Theft Auto 5 Keeps Selling Millions Every Quarter
Grand Theft Auto 5 continues its remarkable commercial success, with publisher Take-Two Interactive revealing in its latest quarterly earnings that the game has now sold nearly 230 million copies worldwide. This represents an increase from the previous quarter’s 225 million copies, indicating the aging title is selling approximately 5 million copies per quarter—a remarkable figure for a game that originally launched in 2013.
The game’s sustained performance spans three console generations and PC, demonstrating its broad appeal across platforms. With its continued dominance in the market, GTA 5 maintains its position as one of the best-selling games of all time. The franchise’s ongoing success is further bolstered by Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component that generates significant revenue through its persistent player base.
The timing of these sales figures is particularly noteworthy as the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 approaches its confirmed release date of November 19. Rockstar Games has reaffirmed this launch date twice in recent months following earlier delays, signaling the developer’s commitment to meeting the announced timeline. The continued strength of GTA 5’s sales demonstrates that the franchise maintains considerable consumer interest even as the gaming community awaits the next major entry in the series.
