Grand Theft Auto 5 has become the UK’s best-selling game of all time following its release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, GfK Chart-Track has revealed.
The record was previously held by 2010 first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops. The difference between the two games prior to last week’s current-gen launch was so tight, however, that Tuesday sales alone were enough to knock Black Ops off its perch.
GTA 5 also holds the record for being the UK’s biggest revenue earner and the highest-grossing game in a week, having earned £94m during its first week on sale last September.
PS4 also took the lead on new-gen GTA 5 sales with 58 per cent of copies sold on Sony’s console. 41 per cent were sold on Xbox One, with the remaining 1 per cent on Xbox 360.
The game re-entered the charts at No.1 this week, fending off new releases Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
