[TheBowen]

Still have yet to play/buy it even though I'm a huge GTA fan

man I'm really behind aha, good job though rockstar. Use that money and pump it into RDR2

 

[isaacnukem]

GTA V deserves all its sales. It's quite possibly the most impressive and most immersive open-world out there.

 

[Ushay]

This and Red Dead Redemption is all rockstar need for the next 3 years.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Still have not played/see the appeal of it but good for Rockstar. People love them some GTA.

 

[Spira]

Haven't properly loved a gta since Vice City. Good for them though.

 

[jjonez18]

75 million. Damn that's more than most modern franchises have sold total.

 

[D.Lo]

It's got to be the ultimate multi-console purchase game. I know many people who got it on both PS3 and PS4. Really the new version should have been called 'Deluxe' or whatever, if it straddled the generation before it would have been called 'HD'.

 

[mnemonicj]

I double dipped this past weekend on the PSN sale, so I might've contributed to those numbers.

 

[jbueno]

And I´ve yet to get mine on PS4.

 

[ASIS]

Sooo deserved, and I am not even a GTA fan.

Well done Rockstar!

 

[HStallion]

Probably gonna hit 100 million by the end of this gen.

Just wait till the remastered remaster on PS5 and X2

 

[facetheslayer92]

Well deserved. It's one hell of a game.

 

[jroc74]

I remember some threads on here pre PS360 release saying that GTA was a dying brand.

It really is the ultimate sandbox game. I try to get on every few days and the amount of content is ridiculous and stuff like the race track maker will keep playing even longer.

The legs on this game will run and run.

I vaguely remember someone saying it wasn't going to be a big deal for current gen. That ppl already bought it and it wasn't gonna sell that well.

I was so shocked I think I saved that thread for historical purposes... lol.

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

It is the most impressive game.

Can't wait for RDR2. Rockstar's first true "next-gen" game.

 

[GlamFM]

Just realized I bought 5 copies of this!

- Limited collectors 360 version for me.
- Regular 360 version for my brother.
- PS3 version for a random Gaffer I felt bad for.
- PS4 remaster
- PC version I still play today.

oops....

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

This is great. Well deserved. If this enables them to pour more money into GTA VI, it's gonna be amazing.

 

[Bluth54]

I wonder if the Switch sells well they'll port GTA5 to it to squeeze out some extra sales.

It probably depends on how well the Switch sells and how easy it would be to port.

No chance.

 

[Turkoop]

After making so much profit with GTAV, I'm sure they can develop a Bully Remake then a Sequel, after this AGENT and a Remake of Vice City AND NO MATTER IF THOSE GAMES FAIL, THEY HAVE STILL ENOUGH MONEY.

 

[Chumley]

Wonder what kind of numbers RDR2 hits.

 

[RocknRola]

I'm so out of the loop with its current features. I dropped it after beating the online Heists twice. The Online is cool I guess, but not for me. The World (in SP) felt very dead after beating the story.

I really didnt like to see the focus shift so strongly to the online (no more SP DLC ...) but it clearly worked for them. Hoping RDR2 retains the fun World of the previous game.

 

[number47]

360 and got a ftee copy for ps4. assumed alot of people double dipped. maybe there are records of who transferred their accounts to a new console. and the games been dirty cheap for a while. best buy always seems to buy copies still at $24 time to time. only to resell at $30.

and nba sells consistently. GTA has become the new front for online cash games. doubt gta6 will be as exciting

 

[Diprosalic]

Don't understand it and probably never will. The games are not bad but also not great. i don't see why they are this much bigger than everything else.

Congrats!

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

GTA5 was the game that gave last gen a second wind before dying out.

 

[J 0 E]

This is unbelievable


any idea how much the game has sold this gen?

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Entirely deserved. Its the game of last generation hands down.

Argument could even be made for the game of this one too

 

[The Albatross]

Well deserved. One of the most impeccably crafted games ever. Specific elements of the gameplay may not appeal to everyone, but there's more detail in GTA V than any other game, ever, and the work that went into it from the developers, artists, and designers, is unparalleled.

Rockstar deserves all the money for this game. If Rockstar wants more money, they can release a 15-hour DLC pack in the same map and it'll sell bonkers.

Also, obligatory: GTA Online is a terrible mess.

Wonder what kind of numbers RDR2 hits.

If it gets 1/10 as much as GTA V it'll still be a runaway success. GTAV is certainly bolstered, too, in that it was released on two generations of consoles. Though, the re-release was not just a haphazard high texture upgrade, the changes to the game (First person mode, the thousands of new animations, new missions, director mode, etc) made it feel incredibly fresh.

Maybe somebody can explain this, but why does Rockstar need Take Two? Every time I even see that they have a publisher like that I think: this is the biggest game brand in the world and doesn't need some middle man to push it.

Am I crazy? Couldn't Rockstar literally purchase an entire new office of people to handle all publishing duties themselves? I must be missing something.

They could, but they'd have to sue Take2 to break out of it. There's also a lot of benefits that being owned by a billion-dollar publisher helps with, especially when it comes to managing international publishing, attorneys, contracts, and other mintutae that can bury teams focused on development. You can be a good manager of a huge development team, but a terrible sales/legal/HR/coordinating manager.

 

[Rastafarian42]

I remember when people were saying it'd sell less than GTA4. 😂😂😂

 

[ultratruman]

[The Albatross]

I remember when people were saying it'd sell less than GTA4. ������

... who said that? Thought it had more pre-orders than GTA4. The GTAV reveal trailer crashed Twitter, NeoGaf, and dozens of websites. Our work network crumbled for the afternoon.

 

[MisterHero]

I double-dipped but will triple-dip for GTAV on Switch

 

[diehard]

Cool, now do something with the Myth franchise.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

This and Red Dead Redemption is all rockstar need for the next 3 years.

I think that's all we're going to get from R* any more; alternating GTA and RDR instalments every 3-4 years.

I wonder if the Switch sells well they'll port GTA5 to it to squeeze out some extra sales.

It probably depends on how well the Switch sells and how easy it would be to port.

There's more chance of me having a passionate affair with Jenna Coleman than there is GTAV coming out for the Switch.

 

[M1nty]

Bought it 3 times.

For 360, the remaster for PS4 and finally the PC version.

Great game.

Same here, id say the average gamer has bought it at least twice. Crazy figures.

[Rambone]

Amazing, now where are my animals in online mode for me to run over and hunt?!

 

[sixteen-bit]

congrats on the success

 

[borges]

GTA V is a real beast. When GTAVI get announced, the worldwide hype will be something special...

 

[Holundrian]

Still have to get to this game. Someday just gotta find the right mood.

 

[M1nty]

GTA V is a real beast. When GTAVI get announced, the worldwide hype will be something special...

Just look at RDR 2, all it took was for them to change their twitter avatar and the world went nuts. but I agree, GTA VI will be bigger than big.

 

[LAM09]

That's crazy.

This is the only game I've double dipped, so I can see why it's doing so well.

 

[Hahs]

After making so much profit with GTAV, I'm sure they can develop a Bully Remake then a Sequel, after this AGENT and a Remake of Vice City AND NO MATTER IF THOSE GAMES FAIL, THEY HAVE STILL ENOUGH MONEY.

They have enough dollars to make their own console...75mill multipled by $60 = CHA! friggin !CHING... for a looong time!

 

[marc^o^]

I guess a Switch port could add few millions to this, or do they expect more sales on existing platforms?

 

[-shadow-]

I'm surprised how much this keeps selling new when I see it in second hand stores in dozens each and every time and dirt cheap. It's insane!

 

[GlamFM]

I guess a Switch port could add few millions to this, or do they expect more sales on existing platforms?

Seriously, they wont port it to switch.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

It doesn't work like that, but I'm fairly sure we found out a while back T2 had earned something like $2.5 billion from GTAV sales and $0.5 billion from GTA Online. Probably crept up a bit by now.

 

[NoKisum]

Cool. So this means Rockstar finally has enough money to make the Single Player DLC and fix the Online economy, right?

 

[Huge Succeeded]

I truely hope so, I could never go back to third person mode. Played the whole game through on PC in first person mode and it was a 100x better experience.

People who haven't played the PC version yet are missing out.
PC's got the only version of GTA V with good controls, whether you play with a controller or with kb/m
the drastic improvement in input response time is a game changer

 

[duckroll]

Jesus Christ.

75 million shipped. That's more than the annual unit sales of most territories for gaming at retail.

 

[Hahs]

Lol yeah I exaggerated, but nonetheless - dollars for days
