The success of GTA V lasts almost 5 years in a row. The Rockstar Games hit took third place in sales of physical copies in 15 European countries in 2017, second only to FIFA 18 and Call of Duty: WWII.

The attendance of the game continues to grow. According to Rockstar, in December last year, a record number of players were registered in the GTA Online multiplayer mode for the entire existence of the title.
Last year, the analytical firm NPD named GTA V the best-selling game on the US video game market for 22 years of observations, and SuperData recognized GTA V as the most profitable console game in history.
