GTA 5 Simply Refuses To Stop Selling, Even With GTA 6 On The Way

As Grand Theft Auto 6 gets ready to launch, GTA 5 is still selling impressively. The GTA series has sold more than 480 million copies, with GTA 5 making up 235 million of those. Take-Two Interactive, the publisher, recently shared that another 5 million copies of GTA 5 were sold in the past 90 days during its second-quarter fiscal year 2027 update. Business is boomin' for Rockstar Games There are several reasons why GTA 5 keeps selling so well. One big factor is its frequent discounts on digital stores, and bundles with Shark Cards often cost less than buying in-game currency by itself. The game has also launched on three generations of consoles, and GTA Online has attracted a huge audience. Excitement for GTA 6 is probably helping sales too, putting GTA 5 just behind Tetris and Minecraft as one of the best-selling games ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxqys4Nm4Cs Rockstar’s other major open-world game, Red Dead Redemption 2, has also reached an impressive milestone. It has sold 89 million copies, putting it just behind GTA 5 and ahead of other big titles like Wii Sports (82.9 million), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (80.46 million), and PUBG: Battlegrounds (75 million). Whether GTA 6 will surpass these numbers is still unknown, but Take-Two Interactive is optimistic as preorders for the November 19 launch are already higher than expected. Take-Two hasn’t released exact numbers yet, but says preorders have been “unprecedented” across the industry. Preloading is now available , and the game will be ready to play at midnight next week wherever you are.
