GTA V Thrives Five Years and 100 Million Copies Later

It's official: Take-Two Interactive recently revealed that Grand Theft Auto V has now sold over 100 million units since it was launched in 2013. That's an impressive feat not only for that cold number, but also for being able to sell copies with a game that is five years old. On May Take-Two announced that the game had hit 95 million copies sold, for example, so sales rate are really good after all this time. the original game has evolved and grown with continuous updates that have allowed players to enjoy new content on a regular basis. These sales have also been helped by key factors such as the progressive reduction of its price, of course.

The announcement was part of the financial results in Q2 for Take-Two Interactive. The company has seen net revenue growing 11% to $492.7 million compared to the same period of last year. It's interesting to see how digital-delivered net revenue grew 18% to $358.4 million. This represents 73% of total revenue currently, something reasonable if we consider the success of Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online, NBA 2K18 and NBA 2K19. But again, selling over 100 million units is something that only some very special games can do: only Tetris and Minecraft have done that previously.

phillBoxed :) I have the rest on physical media so I'd like to get GTA 5 to carry on the collection I have :)
Mint condition I hope :D

For some reason I gave up these collections a long time ago but yeah I know the feels of having them. Its nice :) I still get warm and fuzzy when I open up a Starcraft 1 or Warcraft 3 box. And then there's the booklet... with actual nice to read content and lore in it. One of those 'everything used to be better' moments...

It looks pretty decent from the pictures :)

I still collect a lot of games (old gen consoles - Amiga, Sega, Nintendo, Xbox, PS, PC) my PC room is filled with it lol :) Something about a big Steam library doesn't really do the same for me as a load of boxed games sadly... Would save me a load of space!! :)
Still, been meaning to buy GTA 5 for a while, so this might be the chance that pushes me to actually doing it.. That said, I've played San Andreas to finish, but I've hardly started GTA 4... Oops.... :)
