Grand Theft Auto V Sold More Than 5 Million Copies Last Quarter, 155 Million Units Sold Overall

More Than 5 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V – you know, the game released nearly a decade ago – were sold just last quarter, bringing its total units sold up to a whopping 155 million units. 

The following news is from VentureBeatAccording to, more than $6B in revenue has been generated by the Rockstar-developed Open-World game since its 2013 debut. In 2018, GTAV was named the most successful entertainment product, surpassing all other products. GamesIndustry.bizIt seems that the game is not planning to lose this title any time soon. 

These new GTAV numbers come from Take-Two Interactive’s latest financial report, which details the second fiscal quarter’s earnings. That quarter ended on September 30. According to VentureBeat, the company beat not only Wall Street’s expectations but its own as well after netting $9849 million. That’s up 3% from last year, too, which was an especially great year for video games due to increased purchases as a result of pandemic-related quarantines. 

“I wouldn’t say that the pandemic is over, I think we’re certainly not seeing that in working conditions, and therefore it’s hard to believe we’re seeing it fully in consumer patterns, but I think we’re close to the new normal,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told VentureBeat. 

GTAV’s popularity likely remains as high as it is due to its online component, GTA Online, which is regularly updated and features microtransactions that Take-Two makes even more money from. This is a good sign that GTAV’s numbers will keep rising as we approach Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
