GTA 5 Sales Hit Over 195 Million; Red Dead Redemption 2 Sales at 61 Million
If you need more evidence that Grand Theft Auto 5 is the most successful video game of all-time, then look no further than to its sales, as it has managed to break yet another milestone alongside Red Dead Redemption 2.
Take-Two Interactive just held its third quarterly reporting call, and to the surprise of no one, GTA 5 sales have gone up yet another five million units since last quarter. This brings its total sales to a whopping 195 million copies sold worldwide. But that’s not the publisher’s only sales milestone, as Red Dead Redemption 2 also surpassed 61 million sold units, up four million copies from the last quarter.
Take-Two didn’t have much to share regarding comments about the sales of each title, though they did list in their presentation that both games exceeded their expectations.
“Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online, the Red Dead Redemption series, and Zynga’s in-app purchases, led by Toon Blast, exceeded our expectations. This was partially offset by softness in mobile advertising and NBA 2K24”
Sales for GTA 5 may still be going strong, but based on these quarterly numbers, it does seem it may finally be slowing down. To put some perspective, GTA 5 sales in the previous quarter were at 190 million copies, a 10 million increase from the quarter before. That number is now half of this quarter, suggesting a slowdown in sales. However, that may be due to several contributing factors, such as other major releases that dropped during the last quarter. So while the sales are down from the prior quarter, we could see them back up next.
Either way, that 200 million milestone will get hit later this year, potentially during the next quarter. The question will be, will Rockstar do something special to celebrate that achievement? We hope so!
As for the franchise, we’re all eagerly awaiting the actual gameplay reveal of GTA 6, though there’s no release date yet, we’re not expecting it to be released this year.
