On the way to Release of "GTA VI" Next year, its predecessor “GTA V” reached another and extremely impressive milestone.

According to Take Two “GTA V” has been released since its initial release in 2013 over 200 million times sold. Since then, the game has been released for PS3, PS4, and later for PS5 and the Xbox platforms, which made this sales milestone possible. "GTA V" is thus one of the most successful games in the AAA market ever. Only "Minecraft" has sold significantly more units across all platforms, currently boasting over 300 million units sold.

The late release of "GTA VI" next year should also contribute to "GTA V" achieving several million more sales. A significant drop in sales figures is only expected after its release.

The GTA series is unstoppable.

Furthermore, the overall sales figures for the GTA series are truly impressive, reaching 425 million units sold. Several million copies are added to this figure every month, not only for "GTA V" but also for the most recent re-releases.

A major financial contributor to this success is "GTA Online," which has seen a 23% increase in players year-over-year. However, the publisher anticipates a future decline in profits for "GTA Online," which has now been running for over a decade and is expected to be replaced by "GTA VI" next year. It remains unclear whether Rockstar Games is preparing an update for "GTA Online."

The subscription service GTA+ is also proving successful, with the number of subscribers doubling compared to the previous year. Take-Two expects a similar positive trend in the future. However, the monthly cost of the service was only recently increased. raised.

Elsewhere, sales figures for "Red Dead Redemption 2" were updated, which currently stands at 64 million copies sold.
