that’s 160 million, more than all the games in the Assassin’s Cr saga

2022 is a year that started strong for video games, but it’s also a time for publishers to take stock of their financial results. Today, it’s Take Two Interactive who is sticking to it, he who made a lot of talk last month with the acquisition of Zynga for the tidy sum of 12.7 billion dollars. We are talking about the last quarter of the publisher, and the latter achieved very good performance with 789 million euros in turnover, thanks in particular to the behemoths of GTA 5, NBA 2K22, Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA The Trilogy and Borderlands 3. Speaking of GTA Trilogy The Definition Edition, know that the game sold 10 million copies in just under 3 months, which makes it a fairly obvious commercial success. As for criticism of the game’s poor launch, Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick didn’t shy away from admitting they weren’t up to snuff, but it’s about a rare case, that many issues have been fixed and more fixes are still planned.

Another game that is not afraid of dramas, GTA 5 which continues to sell like hot cakes, and which peaks at 160 million copies sold since its first release in 2013. A figure which should increase further as the next gen versions PS5 and Xbox Series will be released. Of course, it is above all GTA Online which is the locomotive of this success, especially since the recent updates have made it possible to integrate the rapper Dr Dre into the game, which has undoubtedly boosted sales lately. month. As a result, with these 160 million copies, the GTA franchise has 370 million copies sold worldwide. Insane. Red Dead Redemption 2 does not have to be ashamed either, even if its sales have slowed down sharply in recent months, the game is approaching 43 million copies distributed, which makes a total of 65 million copies for the license. Lower, but not gross, there is Borderlands 3 with more than 15 million, 8 million for the latest NBA 2K22 and 3 million for PGA Tour 2K21 which not only comes back from afar but impresses for a game of golf especially. What still give a smile to Strauss Zelnick.
