GTA 5 has shipped more than 54 million units worldwide, up by 2 million in the last quarter, Take-Two announced in its Q1 2016 financials.
“Nearly two years after its record-shattering launch, Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to outperform expectations,” noted chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick. “On April 14, Rockstar Games brought this groundbreaking title to PC with a number of enhancements, generating stellar reviews and strong digitally delivered sales.
“In addition, we benefited from ongoing demand for the console versions of Grand Theft Auto 5, particularly as the installed bases of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One expand.”
Zelnick also pointed to the growth of GTA Online.
“Grand Theft Auto Online was once again the single largest contributor [for digital revenuw], as Rockstar Games has driven sustained engagement through the ongoing release of free content updates, most recently The Ill-Gotten Gains updates Part One and Part Two, which were launched in June and July respectively,” explained Zelnick.
He added: “Roughly 70% of Internet-connected Grand Theft Auto 5 users have played Grand Theft Auto Online. And the active user base continues to grow with average monthly active users for calendar 2015 to-date up more than 40% versus calendar 2014.”
