The GTA franchise has officially sold over 400 million copies

10 years on from its initial release and GTA V is still going strong, with millions of new players purchasing the game every single Quarter. Take-Two Interactive have now shared their latest fiscal reports, revealing that the franchise as a whole has now surpassed 400 million copies sold.

As part of Take-Two Interactive’s most recent fiscal earnings report (and collated by industry analyst DomsPlaying), the holding company shared updated sales figures on some of its biggest titles – namely GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

With 5 million additional sales since the last Quarter, GTA V is now officially at 180 million copies sold-in. This helps the game to maintain its position as the second-best selling game of all time (only behind Minecraft). What’s more, Take-Two revealed that in total the GTA franchise has now sold over 400 million copies – meaning GTA V has shifted nearly as many copies as the rest of the series combined.

In looking at Red Dead Redemption 2, the company shared that the 2018 title has now sold-in over 53 million copies (up 3 million since last Quarter), putting the Red Dead Redemption duology at over 75 million copies shipped in total.

With how many units GTA V in particular continues to sell, it will be interesting to see what figure the game is at when GTA VI eventually releases – whenever that may be (2024 perhaps?).

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
