GTA 5 saw record sales during the lockdown days of 2020. Despite the relaxation of lockdown restrictions, the sale of the action-adventure game kept on increasing.

Three months ago, GTA 5 recorded a sale of 145 million copies, and now it has crossed the threshold of 150 million units. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, revealed this massive achievement via their earnings results.

Since an enhanced version of GTA 5 is all set to be released later this year, the sales of the open-world title can only be expected to go higher. Xbox Series X and PS5 owners will squeal with delight after acquiring the next-generation version of GTA 5 this November. Not only that, gamers can also rejoice as they will finally be able to purchase GTA Online separately.

As GTA 5 keeps hitting millions in sales, GTA fans are ardently waiting for updates regarding the release of GTA 6. Since the release of GTA 6 is not in the cards for the next two or three years, players can cross their fingers and hope that the next-generation version of GTA 5 introduces something exciting rather than just the improved resolution.
