Publisher Reveals 12-Year Revenue for the Grand Theft Auto Series

The Grand Theft Auto franchise from Rockstar Games ranks among the most commercially successful in video game history, having generated at least $10.22 billion in revenue since GTA V launched in 2013.

According to Take-Two Interactive’s financial report for the second quarter of 2026:

  • GTA V has sold 220 million copies;
  • The series has moved a total of 460 million units;
  • The remastered GTA trilogy has sold more than 30 million copies.

The franchise brought in $172.253 million during the quarter, down 22% from the previous quarter but slightly above last year’s results. Revenue was driven by GTA V sales, GTA Online microtransactions, and the trilogy remasters, which contributed an additional 5 million copies.

Following the recent delay of GTA 6, Rockstar has been actively bolstering GTA Online sales: two major in-game events, the addition of GTA V to PlayStation Plus, and the inclusion of GTA Online in the GTA+ subscription on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S — now offered at $7.99 instead of $19.99 for the standalone edition.

The combined figures confirm that GTA V remains Rockstar’s principal revenue engine and continues to sustain interest in the franchise even as the sixth installment approaches release.
