Rockstar Unveils Impressive Revenue Figures for GTA Remastered

Released just last month on console and PC platforms, the GTA Remastered trilogy has turned out to be a surprise hit despite initial concerns within the gaming community, being dubbed the disaster of 2021. The GTA Remastered trilogy continues to receive strong backlash from gamers worldwide due to numerous glitches, bugs, poor performance, compounded by issues with the Rockstar Games Launcher.

Initially thought to be a true catastrophe, however, three months after the release of this game trilogy, Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive recently announced that the GTA Remastered trilogy is a 'major success'. Take-Two's Chairman, Strauss Zelnick, revealed in the company's quarterly financial report that the GTA trilogy has exceeded the company's commercial expectations. While precise figures have not been disclosed, estimates suggest The Trilogy has sold approximately 10 million copies in its first three months.

The chairman also acknowledged that the GTA Remastered trilogy has also faced numerous complaints from the gaming community upon release. Zelnick admitted: “We were truly disappointed when the GTA Remastered trilogy had poor quality. In the future, we will still intensely focus on quality, and we are extremely confident in all our upcoming games. Despite the issues with the GTA Remastered trilogy, Zelnick asserted that they will not change how they handle the development of any future games from the company in the future, and the company is also not concerned about the future of other GTA titles.

Take-Two reports that the entire GTA series has now sold over 370 million copies, with GTA V selling over 160 million copies as of the end of the quarter in January. This figure is up from the figure they reported in the previous quarter of 355 million for the series and 155 million for GTA V alone. Looking back at income reports from previous quarters, it's quite consistent that the revenue from GTA V aligns accurately with the overall sales increase.

Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas are widely regarded as the bestselling and most beloved titles in the GTA series. They have helped establish the GTA franchise's reputation among millions of fans worldwide. Like other GTA games, each installment of the GTA The Trilogy focuses on the life and crimes of the protagonist striving for dominance in a fictional city in the United States. For example, Vice City is based on Miami while San Andreas is a mix of Southern California and Nevada.
