Somehow, GTA V just keeps on doing well, as the sales on PS5 and Xbox Series have apparently “exceeded expectations.“
It doesn’t take a genius to know that GTA V is a ridiculously popular game. And back in March, the open world game from Rockstar finally launched on new-gen consoles. Now, according to a report from GamesIndustry.biz, publisher Take-Two said that GTA V sales on PS5 and Xbox series “exceeded expectations.“
While the number of new-gen units in particular wasn’t specified, GTA V had sold another 5 million in the last quarter. That puts the total sales figures for the game up to a staggering 165 million copies sold.
That is an absurdly massive number of copies sold, especially because it generally sells 5 million each quarter.
GTA 6 NEWS WHEN?
Of course, while GTA V is seeing continued success, fans are still waiting for news on GTA 6. Officially confirmed back in February, the next GTA has started development, though it’s likely early days yet. A report earlier this year suggested that fans shouldn’t expect any kind of GTA 6 news this year. But we can only hope.

Fans are clearly hungry for information on the sequel too. As last month, some box art appeared on Twitch that led to some confusion amongst fans. It was inevitably proven as fake, but clearly everyone wants to know more about the sequel.
It will likely be a while until we hear anymore, but that probably doesn’t matter to Rockstar. After all, GTA V sales just aren’t slowing down, so Rockstar can take all the time it needs.
