Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are laser-focused on Grand Theft Auto 6, out next week and recording incredible pre-sales. But that doesn’t mean sales have slowed for the developer’s previous efforts, despite their age. Take Red Dead Redemption 2, for instance. Take-Two’s quarterly earnings reveal that it sold over 89 million units as of September 30th, 2026.
That’s up from two million in the previous quarter, which was coincidentally up from the quarter before that. The series is currently at 118 million+ sales worldwide, and it won’t be long before the sequel hits 100 million units sold. For now, it comfortably remains the third-best-selling game of all time.
Of course, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still Take-Two’s biggest success. Since launching in 2013, it’s sold nearly 235 million copies, up five million from its last milestone. The fiscal year is only half done, and it’s already sold ten million copies. As for the franchise, it’s nearly reached 480 million sales.
With Grand Theft Auto 6 launching on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, one has to wonder whether it can top its predecessor’s $800 million launch sales. Sensor Tower estimates it’s nearly there with $751 million in revenue so far, but stay tuned for official figures from Rockstar and Take-Two.
