GTA 5 has shipped over 60M units worldwide – Take Two

4.5
Grand Theft Auto is still one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world.

Publisher Take-Two Interactive revealed today that developer Rockstar Games has shipped more than 60 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V across all platforms. That does not mean consumers have bought 60 million copies — instead, this figure refers to how many GTA V units retailers have ordered in total. With the possible exception of the military first-person shooter Call of Duty, no gaming franchise regularly reaches megahit status like Grand Theft Auto. The open-world crime originally debuted in 2013, but Rockstar was able to keep demand high by releasing an updated version for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in late 2014 and the PC in April. PC and console gaming is a business worth tens of billions of dollars, and a lot of that cash goes to biggest blockbuster hits.

The company went on to say that GTA was its biggest contributor to its digital revenues as well.

This game has taken so many things to a new limit. I cant not wait to see what they do in the future. Amazing game, although everything has its flaws, there arent many to complain about with GTA V and the attention to small details.
