Grand Theft Auto franchise metrics

  • $10.22 billion earned since GTA V's launch
  • 460 million franchise game sales
  • GTA V has shipped 220 million copies
  • GTA Trilogy remaster has sold over 30 million

The franchise made $172.253 million in Q2'26, down -22% from last quarter but up slightly year-over-year. The revenue was driven by a combination of GTA V sales, GTA Online microtransactions, and the newer GTA trilogy remaster, which had tacked on a healthy 5 million copies sold the quarter prior.

With GTA 6 recently delayed, Rockstar is making big moves to try to help spark holiday spending within GTA Online with two major promotions. GTA V is coming to PlayStation Plus this month, new reports indicate, and Rockstar also just rotated GTA Online into the GTA+ catalog on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, allowing access for $7.99 instead of the $19.99 price tag for the standalone version.
