GTA 5 overreach 165 Million Sold, as Red Dead Redemption 2 Reaches 44 Million

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V continues to grow. The open-world action game has now surpassed 165 million copies sold as of March 31, 2022, marking an increase of 5 million copies since Take-Two last revealed a sales figure in February 2022.

The entire GTA series has now sold more than 375 million copies, Take-Two announced. The most recent version of GTA V was released in March for Ps5 and Xbox Series X | S. However, Take-Two did not reveal a specific sales number for this new generation version. Another GTA game, GTA: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition, launched for the Nintendo Switch in February, but Take-Two did not share a sales number.

Take-Two also revealed a new sales number for Red Dead Redemption II; it has now sold 44 million copies, which is up from 43 million back in February. The series has sold 67 million copies, which means 2010's Red Dead Redemption 1 shifted around 23 million copies.

Both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 make even more money from microtransaction sales within their online modes. And if Take-Two makes more money from microtransactions, CEO Strauss Zelnick stands to make a bigger bonus.

For Take-Two's fiscal fourth quarter, the company made $930 million in revenue, which was up 11% compared to last year. Recurrent consumer spending, which includes microtransactions, rose by 1% and accounted for 64% of total revenue. Take-Two made an overall profit of $110 million for the period, which was down substantially from the profit of $218.8 million this quarter last year.
