After Sony and Microsoft, Take Two also released its financial results. From the available data, we learned that GTA V scored in sales. worst quarter since its release in 2013.
Take Two said it sold about a million copies in the last quarter, which is still a decent number for a game that’s almost 10 years old. Nevertheless, a downtrend is clearly visible, which should have come sooner or later. The company also said that lowers expected sales for the whole year from 5.8 to 5.9 billion dollars to 5.4 to 5.5 billion dollars.
The decrease in the forecast for future sales, together with other factors, contributed to decrease in share price by approximately 17%. Game Analyst Benji-Sales at Twitter he mostly mentions Take Two’s problems in the mobile market, which he says are more of a problem than GTA V’s declining sales.
The recent leak of unfinished work on GTA VI certainly didn’t help the company either. The head of Take Two, Strauss Zelnick, recalled the event in interviews with investors who repeated that this will not affect the development of GTA VI or its release date.. He also added that there was no evidence of the theft of other materials.
Take Two also boasted an updated total sales of their games. The aforementioned GTA V, which has been able to sell worldwide since its release, is worthy of attention. over 170 million copies. Another game from Rockstar in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2 then reached 46 million copies.
We joked for years that Take-Two/Rockstar didn’t need to release Grand Theft Auto 6 soon because of how much money GTAV was making.
It doesn’t feel like the truth anymore
GTAV only shipped about 1 million units last quarter. Looks like the juggernaut has finally slowed down
