GTA 5 Crosses 235 Million Copies Sold as Franchise Surpasses 480 Million Milestone

Grand Theft Auto 5 has officially surpassed 235 million units sold worldwide, helping propel the overall Grand Theft Auto franchise beyond 480 million total lifetime sales. The updated figures were disclosed by publisher Take-Two Interactive during its second-quarter fiscal year 2027 earnings report.

Even with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the immediate horizon, demand for the 2013 open-world title remains remarkably resilient. GTA 5 moved another 5 million copies over the past 90 days alone. Sustained commercial momentum continues to be fueled by regular digital storefront sales, Shark Card currency bundles, multi-generational console support across three hardware eras, and the enduring popularity of GTA Online.

The updated milestone cements GTA 5 as one of the best-selling video games in history, trailing only Minecraft and Tetris on all-time lifetime charts.

Take-Two also reported notable gains for Rockstar's other marquee open-world property. Red Dead Redemption 2 has reached 89 million units sold, placing it ahead of historic industry titles including Wii Sports (82.9 million), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (80.46 million), and PUBG: Battlegrounds (75 million).

With GTA 6 scheduled to launch on November 19, publisher executives noted that pre-order demand across console storefronts has been unprecedented throughout the industry, signaling that the franchise's staggering commercial scale is poised to expand even further.
