Take-Two Reports Strong GTA 5, Red Dead 2 Sales

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5), a game released over a decade ago in September 2013, continues to dominate sales charts, boasting 5 million copies sold in the last three months alone. Its enduring popularity solidifies its position as one of history's best-selling games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), released in October 2018, also shows impressive staying power, with sales reaching 70 million copies—a 3 million increase in the last quarter.

The ongoing success of GTA 5 is significantly fueled by GTA Online, its consistently updated multiplayer mode. Take-Two Interactive's commitment to regular updates, such as December 2024's "Agents of Sabotage," keeps players engaged and returning.

Looking ahead, Take-Two has confirmed a fall 2025 release for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Further bolstering their upcoming lineup, Mafia: The Old Country is slated for a summer release, and Borderlands 4 is expected later in the year.

While concerns about potential delays for Grand Theft Auto VI are understandable, Take-Two's recent financial presentation reaffirmed the autumn release target for this monumental title. Similarly, Borderlands 4 is confirmed for release this year, though specific dates remain unannounced.

Despite the fall release announcement for GTA VI, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged Rockstar Games' meticulous development approach, suggesting that, as with previous titles like GTA 5 and RDR2, additional development time may be necessary.
