The legendary Grand Theft Auto series stands just 45 million units away from reaching an astonishing half-billion sales across its entire catalog. As fans worldwide await the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, the franchise continues to demonstrate its unparalleled dominance in the gaming industry. Set in a contemporary Vice City, GTA 6 will feature dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, offering players a fresh criminal duo dynamic.

Since the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar Games has focused heavily on GTA Online while also delivering the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. GTA 5 remains one of history's most commercially successful entertainment products, having generated approximately $10 billion in revenue and achieving the fastest $1 billion sales record ever recorded.

Recent financial reports from Take-Two Interactive reveal the Grand Theft Auto series has sold 455 million units to date across all platforms and editions. Remarkably, GTA 5 alone accounts for 215 million of these sales - nearly half the franchise's total. This leaves the series just 45 million units short of the monumental 500 million milestone.

Industry analysts predict GTA 6 will likely propel the franchise past this threshold within its first year of release. The game's record-breaking trailer views and unprecedented hype suggest it may become the fastest-selling entertainment product in history. While sales figures for older titles like GTA 4, Vice City, and San Andreas aren't specified, these classics undoubtedly contributed significantly to the franchise's current standing.

As development continues on Grand Theft Auto 6, fans can expect additional trailers showcasing gameplay mechanics and the vibrant Vice City setting. Following Rockstar's recent patterns, a narrated gameplay trailer similar to those for Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA Online updates may arrive before the game's 2026 launch.
