A decade after its debut, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) maintains strong market presence, recording sales of 5 million units in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This brings the total sales to 185 million units across various platforms.

GTA V holds the distinction of being the first in the entertainment sector to generate a billion dollars in revenue, playing a pivotal role in elevating the GTA series' sales, which now surpass 405 million units collectively.

The much-discussed GTA VI, contrary to earlier speculations of a release this year, has a projected launch window between 2024 and 2025, as indicated by the fiscal report.

Beyond GTA, the franchise's success can be seen with Red Dead Redemption 2, which reported sales of 2 million copies from April to June. This has brought its total sales to 53 million. With the planned release of the original PS3 and Xbox 360 games on PS4 and Switch platforms, the franchise's reach is set to expand.

Yet, this decision to expand to PS4 and Switch has been met with some backlash, especially from the PC gaming community. The updated versions of Red Dead Redemption, priced at $50, have been critiqued for seeming more like ports than true remasters.

Meanwhile, Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has mentioned the possibility of a remastered PC version of Red Dead Redemption. However, any final decision lies with the game developers.

In other developments, a collaboration between Rockstar and Remedy aims to reboot the original Max Payne games, indicating a potential revitalization of these classic titles.
