Despite being over a decade old, Grand Theft Auto V continues to captivate gamers, having sold an impressive 5 million copies in the last three months alone. Since its launch in September 2013, GTA 5 has solidified its place as one of the best-selling video games in history.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is also experiencing a surge in popularity, with sales reaching 70 million copies. The game saw an increase of 3 million copies sold in the last quarter. Released in October 2018, RDR2's continued success showcases its enduring appeal.
A significant factor behind GTA 5's ongoing success is its multiplayer component, GTA Online. Take-Two Interactive continues to keep the game fresh with regular updates, such as the Agents of Sabotage update released in December 2024, which helps maintain player engagement.
Looking ahead, fans have much to look forward to. Take-Two has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will hit the shelves in the fall of 2025. Additionally, Mafia: The Old Country is slated for a summer release, while Borderlands 4 is expected later in the year.
For those worried about potential delays for Grand Theft Auto VI, rest assured that the game remains on track for a fall release. Take-Two mentioned this in their latest financial presentation, although specific release dates for Borderlands 4 have yet to be announced.
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, commented on the development process, stating, "Rockstar is taking a careful approach to the development process, which may require additional time, as was the case with the company's previous projects—such as GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2." This careful approach underscores Rockstar's commitment to delivering a high-quality gaming experience.
