A wealth of new data shows both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 were highly successful throughout last year. The sales and download data of games for all of 2025 has been reported by official sources. Let’s take a look at how well Rockstar Games’ titles did in the past 12 months.
GTA V Sells Well 12 Years On
GTA V was the 20th best selling game in the US in 2025 ranked by dollar sales according to Circana. That takes into account all physical and digital copies sold across each platform. This is down 5 places from 2024. Not bad considering how many new and successful games came out in 2025.
