Grand Theft Auto: Continues to Be a Money Maker for Take-Two Interactive
The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, primarily driven by the immensely popular GTA 5, has continued to be a major cash cow for Take-Two Interactive. Since its release in 2013, GTA 5 has managed to sell 190 million copies, an increase from the 185 million copies announced back in August.
In addition to unit sales, Take-Two has reported “better-than-expected results” for both GTA 5 and its online counterpart, Grand Theft Auto Online (GTAO).
Looking Towards the Future of the GTA Series
While investment in GTA 5 is inevitably going to taper off, as evidenced by GTA 6’s scheduled release in December. Take-Two has been transparent with investors about the series’ future, expecting membership and Shark Card purchases to level off moving forward.
Development on GTA 6 remains with Rockstar, who announced during their presentation that the next game will be set in an updated version of Vice City and feature a female protagonist for the first time.
No Impediments to GTA 6 Development
Take-Two reassured investors during their earnings call that the development of GTA 6 would not be hindered by any voice actor contracts.
