The booming mobile and free-to-play video game markets are seriously weighing down today's disk-based game sales. Sales of new and used video game disks made up just 35% of overall video game sales last year, according to research firm Newzoo. That's down from 40% in 2012.
Meanwhile, smartphone and tablet games are taking control of the video game industry. For example, King's popular Candy Crush Saga game earns over $1 million per day from in-game sales of extra lives and power boosters. Mobile consumers play King's games more than 1 billion times a day --up three-fold from a year ago. The company announced its plans to go public on Tuesday.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, also sharing an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The anticipation for GTA6 has reached fever pitch, with the latest trailer being the biggest video launch of all time.
Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.
To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not
GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.
No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.
I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
A new Grand Theft Auto VI early comparison video highlights the massive jump in character detail, environments and more over its predecessor.
I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.
Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game
Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.
It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic
Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point
You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.
"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"
In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.
The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.
Rockstar’s iconic title Grand Theft Auto V is making headlines once again—but not for the reasons fans might hope. Less than a year after GTA V joined the
I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.
‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’
That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.
Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)
It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.
GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.
so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.
the headline is misleading asf.
also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha
Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?
There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
Video game consoles aren't going anywhere...yet.
The releases of the PS4 and Xbox One, along with the releases of big games like GTAV and TLOU crushed this stupid argument that mobile games are the future.
Not gonna click on that link. Just wanted to say, during the hayday of x360, CNN liked to say stuff like "PS3 is a sinking ship". Does it sound like objective journalism to you?
