GTA 5 sales after 9 years exceed 170 million and Red Dead Redemption 2 is declining

The series has sold more than 380 million copies

GTA 5 still continues to increase its sales despite the passage of nearly ten years since its release, and now it has sold more than 170 million copies sold.

It is noteworthy that sales of the game GTA 5 were, until the end of the previous fiscal year, on March 31, 2022, amounting to 165 million units, which means that the game until the end of last June managed to sell more than 5 million copies within about 4 months. While sales of the entire Grand Theft Auto series have exceeded 380 million copies sold worldwide throughout its history, making the series the most profitable for the publisher.

A remarkable number achieved by a game that is almost entering its tenth year since its launch and over 3 consecutive generations, perhaps thanks to the re-launch of the new generation version, in addition to the continuous support for the game, the latest of which was the recently released GTA Online: The Criminal Enterprises update.

These numbers are based on its latest earnings report for publisher Take-Two Interactive's previous fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, which provided a new update to the latest sales numbers for its best-selling titles, as well as other updates to its individual games.

Where GTA 5 has now become the best-selling title in the United States of America during the past ten years, while it was second in favor of the second game in terms of popularity, Red Dead Redemption 2, which managed to sell more than 45 million copies on various devices around the world.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was developed online, which Rockstar explicitly announced that it had abandoned it and stopped providing support for large content, as it was able to sell only 1 million copies during the same period, and it seems that the decline in sales is due to the lack of the game with great additional content for a whole year.

While the popular NBA 2K basketball series has sold more than 125 million units worldwide, the series will undoubtedly become the best-selling basketball title in the United States and around the world as well.

Borderlands has sold more than 75 million units worldwide, and these numbers are the same as the previous quarter. Borderlands 2 has sold over 26 million units, while Borderlands 3 has sold over 15 million units.

Finally, Sid Meier's Civilization series managed to sell more than 62 million units, the same as it was sold during the previous quarter of this year. While the BioShock series has sold more than 39 million units
