GTA V is the second best-selling video game of all time with over 185 million copies shipped across different platforms.
It has been 10 years since the iconic Grand Theft Auto V game was first introduced. The game was originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013 and was later made available for PS4 and Xbox One in 2014 and for PC in 2015.
Grand Theft Auto V received further updates when it was re-released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2022. GTA V is the second best-selling video game of all time with over 185 million copies shipped across different platforms.
Additionally, with about $8 billion in worldwide revenue, it is one of the most financially successful products of all time. GTA V’s popularity can be attributed in part to its popular GTA Online multiplayer mode which is said to have delivered a substantial revenue for both Rockstar and Take-Two.
While commenting on the revenue generation capabilities of GTA Online, Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick said it is a “gift that keeps on giving”.
