GTA 5 continues to break records and dominate the gaming market. The game, which has been breaking sales records since its release in 2013, is very close to another sales record. The latest figures revealed in Take-Two Interactive’s conference call notes revealed how many millions of units GTA 5 has now sold. Let’s take a look at the details
GTA 5 sales reach 190 million units!
GTA 5 reportedly reached 170 million units sold in November 2022. Now that number has reached almost 200 million, according to a new report. It’s been 10 years since the game came out, Epic Games gave it away for free, but it’s still consistently selling at full speed. That’s really incredible.
The continued success of GTA 5 also poses a significant challenge for the highly anticipated GTA 6. Despite leaks giving us a glimpse of the game in 2022, details about GTA 6 are still scarce. All we have is Sam Houser’s December trailer announcement on Twitter. Other than that, we know nothing. But it’s clear that Rockstar needs to set a new standard for GTA 6.
GTA 5’s remarkable sales chart has made it the second best-selling game, behind Minecraft, which recently surpassed 300 million units sold. The steady demand for GTA 5 shows that gamers continue to be interested in the game’s expansive open-world setting, engaging narrative and diverse gameplay elements. Of course, the GTA Online side is the most popular.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits the arrival of GTA 6, speculation is rife as to whether the new installment will surpass the enormous success of its predecessor. Given the enduring popularity of GTA 5, Rockstar faces high expectations for the next iteration of the series. Despite the possible decline in GTA 5 sales after the release of GTA 6, Rockstar’s history of revisiting and re-releasing successful games also points to the possibility of continued support to capitalize on GTA 5’s enduring popularity.
The gaming industry is eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto saga and with the release of the official trailer for GTA 6, fans are excited for the future of the iconic franchise. The challenge for Rockstar will be to deliver a game that not only continues the legacy of GTA 5, but also captivates players with innovative gameplay and an engaging narrative worthy of the Grand Theft Auto name.
