Alright, let’s dive into this whirlwind of thoughts about GTA 5. So, here we go. Grand Theft Auto 5 has sold over 215 million copies. Yep, you heard that right. I mean, who would’ve thought a game, a decade-old, is still dragging in those numbers? Like, the people at Rockstar must be jumping with joy every morning, right?
And oh, I remember hearing back in February 2025, they hit the 210 million mark. That’s like five million copies in just a few months. Crazy, huh? Maybe it’s because I was daydreaming or lost in thought about why the game’s still raking it in. Who knows? Anyway — oh wait, was I talking about sales? Yeah, they’ve been selling about 1.5 million copies each month. Talk about a cash cow, but then again, GTA 5 is more like a full-on money-printing factory at this point.
But let’s not get sidetracked, because there’s more to it. Take-Two’s May 2025 report came out and bam—five million more copies gone. Sold. That’s like… nuts, don’t you think? Minecraft’s the only one ahead in the history of ever, but GTA 5 kind of beat it by reaching a billion in retail sales faster than you can say “blocky adventure.”
Now, speaking of keeping things fresh, Rockstar’s been tossing out new content and updates like confetti. The Enhanced edition, for instance, landed GTA 5 on Steam’s top played list not once, but twice. Yeah, twice. Maybe that’s why it keeps climbing the charts while fans twiddle their thumbs waiting for GTA 6. And on that note, GTA 6 is already breaking records. The first trailer pulled in a whopping 93 million YouTube views in a day. But it didn’t stop there; the second one blasted past 475 million views in 24 hours across platforms. I mean, I can hardly wrap my head around those numbers. Delayed or not, this game’s like a juggernaut on the horizon.
Whoa, hold on. Did I jump ahead there? Anyway — sorry, this feels all over the place, but isn’t that what happens when a game like this keeps blowing your mind every few months? Maybe it’s just me. But one thing’s for sure, Grand Theft Auto 5 isn’t done making waves and, honestly, I can’t wait to see what GTA 6 brings. But, hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’ve got plenty of chaos to enjoy till then.
