7 Comments

As part of Take-Two's earnings report on Wednesday, the company announced a new sales number for Grand Theft Auto V. The game has now sold 155 million copies, which is up 5 million copies in three months. The entire series has now passed 355 million units sold.

GTA V sales are expected to continue to grow in the future, as the game is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in March 2022. The game was expected to launch in November before Rockstar delayed the game to 2022. A standalone version of GTA Online is coming as well, and it'll be free for PS Plus subscribers on PlayStation 5 for the first three months.

Rockstar also announced a new sales number for Red Dead Redemption 2. The game has sold more than 39 million copies. The entire series has now sold 62 million copies globally, meaning the original has sold around 23 million units.

As for the NBA 2K series, Take-Two said more people played NBA 2K22 in its first month than any other game in the series. The game has now sold 5 million copies.

It wasn't all good news, however, as Take-Two announced that 2K's Marvel's Midnight Suns has been delayed to an unspecified point in the future.

155 million is insane. And 5 million in three months for such an old game is equally insane. I don't understand why some people are so angered by the third release of GTA5 for PS5/Xsex. Obviously people love GTA5 and Take Two is just giving what consumers want. It is common business sense, and nobody is forcing you to buy the game again anyway.

@restatbonfire: I wonder if GTA5 will reach 200 million units sold before GTA6 is released...

So now we know why Rockstar doesn't make games anymore. Do they need to when this 2013 game, almost 9 years later still sells like it just released?
