GTA V has now sold over 210 million copies

For more than a decade now, Grand Theft Auto V has continued to sell like hotcakes, with the now-two-generation-old title consistently selling around 5 million copies every single quarter. As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report, it's been revealed that GTA V has now surpassed 210 million copies.

For years now, GTA V has remained the second best-selling game of all time, pushing more than double the copies of ‘Wii Sports’ (3rd place with 82.9 million), but still falling behind the top spot – Minecraft with over 300 million copies sold.

As part of publisher Take-Two Interactive’s latest fiscal earnings report, CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed the latest sales figures for GTA V, saying “The Grand Theft Auto series remains our industry's standard bearer for excellence and, to date, Grand Theft Auto V has sold-in over 210 million units worldwide.”

While a far cry from GTA’s overwhelming popularity, Rockstar’s other major IP – Red Dead Redemption – continues to climb up the sales ranks, with RDR2 currently sitting as the 6th best-selling game of all time at 70 million copies sold.

Interestingly, Zelnick also noted the recent influx of players which flocked to RDR2 following its recent sale, stating “The title is currently enjoying its highest level of concurrent players on Steam.”

Whether Rockstar will actually take this as an opportunity to further build on RDR2 is unknown, but it is interesting to see Zelnick acknowledge its uptick in players.

The CEO also recently confirmed that they still plan to launch GTA VI some time in Fall of 2025, and so if the game does wind up meeting its intended release date, it will be interesting to see how GTA V sales will be impacted.
