In the last week of January 2022, a week that included the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, Grand Theft Auto V sat at #3 on the Australian charts with its stablemate Red Dead Redemption 2 at #4. It’s so rarely dropped out of the top five highest sellers week-to-week since 2013 that it might as well be a permanent fixture. GTA V is a familiar sight in the IGEA Top 10 sales charts for Australia, and that’s all on GTA Online. That’s roughly $2.5 million US dollars per day. In 2020, eight years after launch, GTA V was still bringing in just shy of US$1 billion (A$1,404,465,000) in revenue. Never has Take-Two Interactive ever had a more reliable cash cow. The sole reason for porting this decade-old game to a third generation of consoles is, of course, Grand Theft Auto Online. GTA V is now set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 14.
