Y’all really enjoy jacking cars.
Grand Theft Auto V publisher Take-Two Interactive revealed today that the most recent entry open-world crime series has reached 54 million copies in sales, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. If each game sold for the suggested retail price of $60, that’s about $3.24 billion in revenue.

Grand Theft Auto Online makes money outside of copies sold with downloadable content.
Take-Two and developer Rockstar are likely already planning a follow-up to this money-making machine, although they haven’t yet announced a sequel.
