Grand Theft Auto V hits 215M sales despite successor’s imminent launch

Take-Two released its quarterly earnings report, in which it gave an update on its franchise sales. Grand Theft Auto V might not seem like it could sell more copies, but according to the company, it has sold 5 million more copies since last report — over 215 million units to date. Even as its successor, Grand Theft Auto VI, is less than a year from its planned launch, the Los Santos crime saga continues to move millions of copies.

In its earnings report, Take-Two noted that the Grand Theft Auto franchise has almost 455 million units. GTA V alone is the best-selling game of the last ten years, and reached $1 billion in sales faster than any other media property in history, says Take-Two. The report also notes that the trailers for GTA VI achieved millions of views, enough to make them two of the biggest video launches of all time.
