The grand reveal for GTA 6 is finally upon us, with developer Rockstar officially confirming that an announcement trailer is coming next month for the hotly-anticipated sequel. In the wake of this GTA tease, IP owner Take-Two has revealed some new sales figures for its most popular series.
We've known for ages now that Grand Theft Auto 5 just keeps on selling - and this recent update reveals some absolutely astronomical sales figures for the game. While the whole GTA series has sold-in over 410 million units worldwide, GTA 5 itself has now managed 190 million on its own. Almost 200 million sales for one game!
That's a seriously impressive figure - although its time on the market as the most recent GTA title likely helps a ton. This mammoth game has been released across three different console generations - right from Xbox 360 through to Xbox Series X|S.
This new financial update also provides some updated stats on the Red Dead series. Following the first game's release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Rockstar has managed to shift more than 81 million copies of Red Dead - with 57 million of those sales belonging to Red Dead Redemption 2. Those aren't quite GTA numbers, but they're still super impressive!
Now, the big question that lingers is just how well GTA 6 is going to sell. Of course, none of us know that right now - but given the amount of pent up demand for this game, we're expecting it to become one of the biggest video game launches ever.
Hyped for GTA 6 then? Tell us your thoughts on all of this down below.

I think GTA 6’s sales will ultimately depend on its quality. I think it will sell well on preorders regardless, but the quality will determine if it hits like previous titles did. If there’s a GTA Online 2, it can’t hit like the original did so many years ago now either because expectations are much higher for those types of things.
Well GT6 will probably last three generations so it should do well.
And this is why we live in an era of remakes, remasters and re-releases.
A lot of people bought 5 repeatedly as it worked out cheaper because it included currency or whatever as part of it.
@Kaloudz it’s my second favorite game series of all time next to Diablo. I am really hoping for a new Series X edition with lot’s of bells and whistles. It could really shine on the X. It won’t be 8K and ultra high end PC settings. But it will be very good if done right, i have been holding out for it so i can play RDR2 all over again. 60 FPS for that game would feel amazing.
I think GTA6 will break records. Rickstar never let us down, always incredible games an always improve. Red Dead 2 is my current fav, i think GTA6 will beat it.
@Kaloudz Waaaay overdue! Hard to believe the game hasn’t gotten no Series X and PS5 love yet. I understand all attention on GTA6. But RDR2 deserves a small team to work on quality of life updates and fixes.
@Kaloudz i hope not. After we see GTA6, they should have the time to do a patch for RDR2. At least thats the hope.
