The GTA series blazes past the 420 million sales mark, as Rockstar gets ready to unleash ST-Ds on Los Santos
Good news, people who like mildly funny numbers (it’s me, I’m people), the GTA series has now surpassed the 420 million mark in terms of total sales, and Take-Two has revealed that to us just as Rockstar is about make ST-Ds available to the GTA Online masses.
Yup, we all might have recovered from the GTA 6 mania that gripped the world at the tail end of last year, when that trailer arrived in our lives, got us thinking about Tom Petty, and brought out the amateur detective in almost everyone, but GTA things are still happening in Los Santos. And the series’ sales numbers are also continuing to push the boundaries of what’s comprehensible, having now reached a value that the goth kids from your college would no doubt appreciate.
As part of its latest earnings call, the aftermath of which saw Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick tell IGN that Rockstar’s parent company has “no current plans” regarding layoffs, it shared some tastefully-assembled presentation slides featuring the latest sales numbers for the biggest titles in its portfolio. As expected, GTA’s leading the way, having now “sold-in over 420 million units”, with GTA 5 alone rapidly lurching towards the 200 million sales mark.
GTA 6 Is Aiming For “Perfection,” Take-Two Says
With Grand Theft Auto VI being one of the industry’s most anticipated upcoming games, Take-Two Interactive, which owns GTA developer Rockstar, is aiming for perfection. In the company’s latest earnings call, Take-Two acknowledged the excitement around the upcoming sequel, saying it would rather push for perfection than rush an anticipated game out to market.
During the call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the ongoing success of the Grand Theft Auto series, saying that excitement around the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release had a positive impact. “The Grand Theft Auto series is benefiting meaningfully from excitement surrounding Rockstar’s announcement of Grand Theft Auto VI and the release of its first trailer,” Zelnick said, adding some statistics around the trailer’s record-breaking debut.
Zelnick elaborated on the popularity of the franchise during the Q&A section of the call, stating that “all things GTA lead to more excitement.” When asked how the hype around GTA 6 compares to what the company saw with the GTA 5 launch in 2013, Zelnick said “our sense is that the anticipation is much higher. Much, much higher.”
GTA 5 Sold Another 5 Million Copies Last Quarter, Reaching 195M Lifetime
Grand Theft Auto V is a beast that never stops growing. The open-world sandbox has just reached another milestone in sales. Further solidifying it as one of the best-selling games of all time.
The news comes from a Take-Two earnings report, where it was revealed that GTA 5 has sold another five million copies in the last three months. It has now sold 195 million copies since its release in 2013. Below is a graph courtesy of X/Twitter user @DeekeTweak, showcasing how the game has grown year after year.

That was one of many things to come out of the earnings report. It was also revealed that its other shooter, Red Dead Redemption 2, has sold over 61 million units since its release in 2018. This is especially notable because the game hasn’t received the same level of post-launch support as GTA Online. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise because the game reached multiple new player-count peaks in 2023.
