Take-Two has revealed the sales of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) continues to defy expectations, selling an impressive 5 million copies in the last three months alone, a remarkable feat for a game released over a decade ago (September 2013). Its enduring popularity solidifies its place as one of history's best-selling video games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), released in October 2018, also shows sustained sales momentum, adding 3 million copies to its already substantial 70 million unit sales total in the recent quarter.

The ongoing success of GTA Online, GTA V's massively popular multiplayer component, is a key factor in this continued performance. Take-Two Interactive's commitment to regular updates, such as the December 2024 Agents of Sabotage expansion, 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 reports reaffirm its autumn 2025 release window. Similarly, Borderlands 4's release this year has been confirmed, although specific dates remain unannounced.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged Rockstar Games' meticulous development approach, stating that, "Rockstar is taking a careful approach to the development process, which may require additional time, as was the case with the company's previous projects—such as GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2." This statement, while acknowledging potential for unforeseen delays, ultimately supports the fall release target for GTA VI.
