Grand Theft Auto V leads April’s $1.1B digital games market in the U.S.

Digital game sales continue to grow, and April’s numbers got some help from one of gaming’s biggest brands.

The digital games market (downloaded games and content) in the United States grew 15 percent in April compared to the same month last year, climbing to $1.1 billion, intelligence firm SuperData Research reports. The highly anticipated PC release of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V sold 441,000 copies in the United States last month, boosting PC game sales. Mobile also helped digital game growth, breaking new records with more than 147 million Americans playing on smartphones and tablets in April. This brought monthly revenues up 13 percent to $380 million.
