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.

And i am for sure looking for to gta 6 as well.
Driving on high refresh was fun as well.
I gave up two years ago or so I think.
Single player is fun as hell though.
I don't know man, but I don't have any desire for content on disc ever since Baldur's Gate 2 took 4 CD-ROMs, and one would inevitably get scratched. You can still print a cover and put it in a DVD box for the idea? :)
ONtopic... might reinstall this again sometime. I played the story and that was all she wrote, was kinda burned out from the eternal GTA concept. But when I see screens, I do get that itch again.
Either way, I'm looking forward to adding this to my collection, I'm hoping I can get a copy for not much cash :D
The bidding for GTA 5 will finish tomorrow morning, so here's hoping I can grab it at a good price :) £20 or so wouldn't be too bad I don't believe :)
Google is a thing, search for 'key GTA V' and enjoy your discount... or is this bid for an actual boxed version?
