Rockstar Games' enduring success: GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 continue to dominate sales charts.
Despite their years on the market, Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) and Red Dead Redemption 2 remain top sellers. This sustained popularity highlights Rockstar's consistent delivery of high-quality, critically acclaimed open-world experiences.
December 2024 Sales Highlights: PlayStation's December 2024 download charts reveal GTA 5 as the third best-selling PS5 title in both the US/Canada and Europe. Red Dead Redemption 2 secured the top spot for PS4 sales in the US and second place in Europe.
Long-Term Performance: Released in 2013, GTA 5's phenomenal success is attributed to its initial impact, subsequent multi-platform releases, and the immensely popular online component. Red Dead Redemption 2, launched in 2018, also achieved significant critical and commercial acclaim.
2024 European Sales Data: Further solidifying their enduring appeal, GTA 5 ranked fourth in overall European sales for 2024 (up from fifth in 2023), while Red Dead Redemption 2 secured seventh place (a one-position improvement from 2023). Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, reported staggering sales figures: over 205 million for GTA 5 and over 67 million for Red Dead Redemption 2.
Future Outlook: The continued strong performance of these established titles underscores Rockstar's legacy. Anticipation is high for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, expected later this year, while speculation swirls around a potential Red Dead Redemption 2 port for the Nintendo Switch 2.
