Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) continues its impressive sales trajectory, moving 5 million copies in the last three months alone – a remarkable feat for a game released over a decade ago (September 2013). Its enduring popularity solidifies its position as one of history's best-selling video games.
Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), released in October 2018, also saw a sales surge, adding 3 million units to its already substantial 70 million copy total in the recent quarter.
The ongoing success of GTA Online, GTA V's ever-evolving multiplayer component, is a key factor in this sustained performance. Take-Two Interactive's commitment to regular updates, such as the December 2024 Agents of Sabotage expansion, keeps the player base engaged and active.
Looking ahead, Take-Two has confirmed a Fall 2025 release for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Further bolstering their upcoming releases, Mafia: The Old Country is slated for a Summer 2025 launch, and Borderlands 4 is expected later in the year.
While concerns about potential delays for Grand Theft Auto VI are understandable, Take-Two's recent financial report reaffirmed the Fall 2025 release window. Similarly, Borderlands 4's release in 2025 was confirmed, although specific dates remain unannounced.
Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, acknowledged Rockstar Games' meticulous development approach, suggesting that, as with past titles like GTA V and RDR2, additional development time may be necessary, despite the Fall 2025 target for GTA VI.
