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.
