Civ VI was a large contributor to Take-Two’s net revenue growth

Take-Two Interactive Software reported today a net revenue growth of more than 50 percent to $571.6 million in the fiscal year 2017, in large part due to the success of the strategy game Civilization VI.

Civ VI made history as the fastest-selling release in the franchise, which launched in 1991 with Sid Meier’s Civilization. Since Civ V’s launch in October 2016, it’s sold nearly 2 million copies. Take-Two puts it on pace to surpass the sales of the previous installment, Civ V, which was released on September 2010 and has sold over 8 million copies as of late last year.
