Grand Theft Auto V has made history as one of the most-enduring games of all time, spanning multiple console generations and raking in billions of dollars along the way. Take-Two's latest Holiday 2025 results show that the 12-year-old game has now shipped 225 million copies across the globe, up +5 million from last quarter. Typically, GTA V somehow has been able to ship 5 million copies per quarter for multiple periods in a row throughout its lifetime.

This also means that Rockstar's genre-defining franchise has now sold over 465 million copies, including both mainline numbered releases, spin-offs, and sales of the new GTA remaster trilogy.

Based on the data provided by Take-Two and our calculations, Grand Theft Auto numbers look like this:

• GTA sales - 465 million
• GTA V sales - 225 million
• GTA trilogy remaster sales - 30 million+

What makes this sales milestone even more noteworthy is that Grand Theft Auto V was available as a free download on both PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass during the period, showing that the game may have unique resilience to the service's so-called "cannibalization" effects.

Rockstar is currently prepping Grand Theft Auto 6 for a release on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has recently confirmed that GTA 6 will also have a physical release, and that the game won't launch as a digital-only title as per rumors.
