In terms of total sales, Grand Theft Auto V has only been bested globally by two games: Minecraft, which has managed to sell 144 million copies across the many platforms it’s available on, and Tetris, a behemoth that has sold more than 170 million since its launch in the 1980s. The three-act Doomsday Heist gave players a reason to return to the game - if Rockstar, which is owned by Take-Two, eventually releases a Switch version of the game, we can only expect to see those sales figures climb even higher. This is a figure most games are not able to achieve in the 12 months after launch, and much of this can be attributed to the continued support the game’s Grand Theft Auto Online component has received. Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad pointed out on Twitter that Grand Theft Auto V‘s 90 million figure means the game sold 15 million units in 2017 alone. This is substantial, particularly when you consider that 2017 also saw the release of huge titles like Star Wars: Battlefront IIand Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In 2017, Grand Theft Auto V was the third-best-selling video game in the United States, publisher Take-Two Interactive revealed during its latest earnings call. According to NPD Group, GTA V became the all-time best-selling game in the United States last year in terms of both revenue and total sales, and has now surpassed 90 million copies sold. GTA Online: The Doomsday Heist Official Trailer Grand Theft Auto Vwas released more than four years ago, but the game continues to be a massive hit.
