Almost a full decade on from its release, GTA V continues to sell like hotcakes, as Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that it’s sold five million copies within the last three months alone. That means that in total, a whopping 180 million units have been sold.
As GameSpot reports, the news was confirmed in Take-Two’s recent earnings report (yes, the same earnings report that some speculated could prompt Rockstar Games to officially reveal GTA VI once and for all). Overall, GTA V is the best-selling game from the last 10 years in the U.S., and it also managed to earn $1 billion in revenue faster than any other entertainment release. Ever. That’s not to be sniffed at.
Take a look at some of the funniest wins and fails from GTA V below.
While we might not have had an official reveal for GTA VI yet, the earnings report may have given us some indication of its release window. In fiscal year 2025, Take-Two Interactive is “launching several groundbreaking titles that we believe will set new standards in our industry”. I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of a single game which fits which “groundbreaking” classification better than GTA VI.
It’s been well over a year at this point since Rockstar Games first confirmed that the next Grand Theft Auto title is in active development, but last September, a huge leak - complete with early gameplay footage - surfaced online as a result of a network intrusion. From this, fans were able to uncover loads of details about the game, seemingly including the protagonists and setting.

Even so, GTA VI continues to be shrouded in mystery, and we can only hope that we get shown an actual trailer soon. For now though, it’s clear that GTA V still has plenty of fans.
