More than a decade after its debut on antiquated consoles, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a cash cow for Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two. Speaking today during Take-Two's Q4 quarterly earnings call with investors, CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that the game has now sold"approximately" 200 million copies, up from the"over 185 million" copies it had sold as of August last year.
Take-Two isn't relying on GTA 5 to put food on the table. NBA 2K24 was a big success, despite generally mediocre reviews from critics and players alike. Complaints generally point to the game's distracting microtransactions, but they're clearly doing their job: the game"surpassed our expectations, as players responded to our promotions, in-game content strategy, and updates within Seasons." It's sold 9 million copies to date.
