What's crazy is that it had its best year since launch!!! And RDR:O had the best month!!!!!

GTA 5 and GTA Online Just Had Their Best Year Since Launch - IGN

2020 was yet another record-setting year for Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, according to publisher Take-Two Interactive.

www.ign.com

.....more units of GTA 5 were sold in calendar 2020 than in any other year except for the game's launch year of 2013
.....Red Dead Online reached more players in December of 2020 than it ever has since its beta launch in 2018

And the upgrades aren't due until at least Q3!!!

Take-Two reaffirmed its commitment to release GTA 5 on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in the second half of 2021, as well as continue to update the game with new content this year.

How is rdr online these days? I put it down after all the nerfing hunting and other ways to earn cash.

So, from this list it seems like Wii Sports is the best selling exclusive game ever. Beating some huge multiplatform ones. Impressive.

 

[VGEsoterica]

I cant wait for it to be a launch game on PS6 and Xbox Edition XYZ

It's OK, everyone waiting for new content. I joined a group called RDR retreat - lot of good people in there. But mainly it's waiting for trades or levelling the outlaw pass with boosted collectibles. It's shy of being a good game, but it's easy to spend a few hours in there if you commit.

Minecraft is an amateur game compared to GTA yes it progresses creative sales but how much credit to its sales are due to mobile? I believe GTA V is #1

Yeah, real men only play vroom-vroom shooty 5 since 2013, AS IT SHOULD BE.

IT was a brilliant move to make purchasing shark cards cheaper through purchasing the game.

Kinda been wanting to give it another shot but I guess I'm better off waiting then.

Only 140 mil? Wow. Franchise is dead. Cancel GTA 6 pls.

 

[NullZ3r0]

This is why a company can make one game every 10 years.

Not exactly true? RDR2 is equally huge and both get updated content all the time for online.

 

[Mokus]

Holy moly! When it reached 100 million, I thought that it will drastically slow down maybe reaching 120 million units lifetime. And to think that the game initial development cost was almost eye-watering 300 million dollars, now it looks like the best investment in gaming history.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Kerotan]

Insane number. Pretty much guaranteed to sell over 200M!

 

[blastprocessor]

Hopefully they've raised enough money for GTA6

 

[hroerekr]

Impressive numbers.
But considering these are sold for 5-10 bucks for a long time, I don't think they can just sit on it for too long.
Unless it's the Online MTX making the cash.

 

[kraspkibble]

Wait until people buy it again for PS5/Series X.

could easily hit 200m

 

[YCoCg]

Unless it's the Online MTX making the cash.

They make more money a month through GTAO than most AAA games do in their first week. They're rolling in it.

Mtx make around 1 billion a year if I remember correctly. So yeah, the game is just the Trojan horse to your wallet.

Hopefully they've raised enough money for GTA6

Lol

Can’t believe PUBG is in the top 5 highest selling games of all time

 

[Sybrix]

Quite amazing of its transition from PS3 to PS4 to PS5

Fair play to Rockstar for keeping the game updated, you may hate the type of updates the game has gotten and what GTA V has turned into however you cannot deny the quality of the updates is of a very good standard

 

[Evilms]

GTA V Sales by year :

2013 : 32.5m
2014 : 12.5m
2015 : 15m
2016 : 15m
2017 : 15m
2018 : 15m
2019 : 15m
2020 : 20m

 

[Senua]

Actually insane.

If GTA VI beats this I will prolapse

A lot of the updates have actually broken parts of single player, and they don't seem to be bothered to fix that. Note this is also the same studio that refused to do Pro/X patches for the game.

 

[Boss Mog]

it's going to the best selling game on ps5 and xbox sx,

It'll probably be in the top 10 for the whole gen.

 

[Evilms]

With the PS5/XSX versions, GTA V to aim for 200 million or at least get close to it to remain the best-selling AAA game of all time.

 

[CitizenZ]

Can’t believe PUBG is in the top 5 highest selling games of all time

50 of the 70 million from one site, where all game trends start today.

 

[iHaunter]

GTA V was on the PS3. Let that sink in for a minute.
