Despite originally launching back in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 remains a force to be reckoned with; according to Take-Two’s latest quarterly earnings report, Rockstar’s irrepressible open-world opus has managed to shift another 5m copies since November, bringing its lifetime sales up to 160m – and the publisher also had a little more to say about NFTs.
Alongside Grand Theft Auto 5’s quarterly rise, Take-Two’s updated numbers show a continuing boost for the GTA series as a whole, which has now sold over 370 million units – an increase of 15m since November. However, as the publisher opted not to share sales data for its much-maligned GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, it’s unclear how much the troubled remaster contributed to that remaining 10m figure – although CEO Strauss Zelnick did say the game had “significantly exceeded” the company’s commercial expectations.
