GTA 5 is getting closer to 200 million units sold

With the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer announcement being made recently, all eyes are once again on Rockstar’s behemoth franchise. Not that eyes were ever truly off it. GTA 5 is still doing phenomenally well, as outlined in Take-Two Interactive’s recent figures.

According to uploaded a couple of days ago, Grand Theft Auto 5 has now sold approximately 190 million units since it launched in 2013. Compare this to November 2022’s – when it had sold 170 million – and it’s obvious the game is still selling in droves.

At this rate, it could well fly past the 200 million mark, maintaining its stance as the second highest-selling game after Minecraft (which recently hit 300 million).

Better be worth the wait

GTA 6 is still pretty elusive. Aside from the leak in 2022, we really don’t know much about the hugely anticipated follow-up. Rockstar has promised the first official trailer in December, so at least we have that to look forward to.

It’s a tall order to be the next big thing after Grand Theft Auto 5, but after years of speculations, leaks, and the collective will of gamers everywhere, the wor🐲ld is finally ready for the next instaꦚllment.

It’s tempting to say that once the sixth game comes out, sales of GTA 5 may slow down significantly. However, Rockstar’s not above rehashing some of its older (and more lucrative) titles, so who knows what the studio has planned for the game. There’s still some milking to be done for that proverbial cash cow.
