Despite being over a decade old, Grand Theft Auto V continues to captivate gamers, selling an impressive 5 million copies in the last three months. Since its debut in September 2013, GTA V has firmly established itself as one of the best-selling games of all time. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also seeing a surge in popularity, with sales reaching 70 million copies and an additional 3 million sold in the last quarter alone. RDR2, released in October 2018, continues to attract new players and maintain its strong fan base.
A significant factor in GTA V's ongoing success is its multiplayer component, GTA Online. Regular updates, such as the Agents of Sabotage update released in December 2024, keep the game fresh and engaging for players. This continuous content refresh is a key strategy employed by Take-Two to maintain player interest and drive sales.
Looking ahead, Take-Two has exciting plans on the horizon. Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch in the fall of 2025, generating immense anticipation among fans. Additionally, Mafia: The Old Country is slated for a summer release, and Borderlands 4 is expected to hit the market later in the year. While specific release dates for Borderlands 4 have not been disclosed, the excitement is palpable.
If you're worried about potential delays for Grand Theft Auto VI, take a moment to relax. The most eagerly awaited game in gaming history remains on track for a fall release, as confirmed in Take-Two's latest financial presentation. However, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, emphasized Rockstar's cautious approach to development, noting that additional time may be necessary, similar to the development cycles of previous projects like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
