Take-Two Reveals New Sales Milestones For GTA 5 & Red Dead Redemption 2

In Take-Two Interactive’s latest earnings report, CEO Strauss Zelnick highlighted the achievements of Rockstar Games’ titles in the past quarter. GTA 5 achieved an additional five million sales in the last quarter, reaching a lifetime total of 190 million units sold. Red Dead Redemption 2 also saw an increase of two million sales, bringing its total to 57 million units sold.

More details in the report include how the GTA franchise pioneered the open-world genre and has also achieved remarkable sales of over 410 million units. GTA 5’s release across three console generations and its achievement of reaching $1 billion in retail sales solidify its position as the best-selling game of the past decade in the U.S. In addition, Grand Theft Auto Online provides an immersive experience that is included for free in GTA 5.

Similarly, the Red Dead Redemption franchise sold over 81 million units worldwide. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the second best-selling title in the US based on dollar sales in the past 5 years. The inclusion of Red Dead Online for free with every copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the release of Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare for Switch and PS4 in August 2023 has extended the franchise’s reach to new platforms.
