Take-Two Interactive has communicated the new stratospheric figures concerning the saga Grand Theft Auto in general. And the fifth installment in the franchise quite logically represents a very large share of sales.
It's very simple, GTA V seems inexhaustible! In the last quarter for the year 2021, Rockstar Games' game sold around 5 million copies worldwide. A great feat eight years after its initial launch. With 160 million units sold since 2013, Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling video game of the decade in the USA. It even does better than all the opuses of the Final Fantasy saga combined. This observation also applies to Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed.
The GTA monster!
Despite the controversy, GTA Trilogy launched last November got off to a hot start! Take-Two says it sold more than 10 million copies across the globe in just a month and a half. The mobile version (iOS, Android) will be released during the first half of 2022. This is enough to inflate the figures a little more. In total, the Grand Theft Auto license has sold 370 million units since its debut in 1997.
Finally, let's find GTA V and its new generation version which will land on March 15, 2022. No free upgrade for game owners on PS4 and Xbox One has been mentioned by Take-Two. What is almost certain is that a physical edition should be marketed around forty euros.
