Rockstar has definitely hit a home run with its new video game Grand Theft Auto V. The game racked up over $800 million in sales within 24 hours. It continued on and reached $1 billion in sales faster than any other game. GTA V does have an issue that has been bothering some players where […]

The most hotly anticipated console game of this season is without a doubt Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5. Only yesterday we reported that GTA 5 had earned a staggering $800 million on the first day alone. This incredible feat made it the fastest selling video game around the world. The game has smashed yet another record, it is now the fastest title to earn $1 billion. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 holds the previous record, it crossed the billion market 15 days after its release. GTA 5 has done it in  just three days.

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of Grand Theft Auto 5, made this announcement today through an official statement, though it hasn’t revealed exactly how many copies have been sold. GTA 5 is currently only available on PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, though a petition to have it brought over to the PC is quickly gaining steam. Take-Two believes that this is “the fastest that any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached this significant milestone.” It goes without saying that GTA 5 will bring in a lot of money, the initial launch frenzy may have died down but the game is going to continue selling like hot cakes. Lets see how long it takes Grand Theft Auto 5 to rake another billion dollars.

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the most anticipated games of 2013 and undoubtedly will bring in a lot of sales for the developer, but exactly how much? Well according to Take-Two, the company managed to pull in a whopping $800 million in 24 hours, making this the most successful Grand Theft Auto game to date (as far as first day sales are concerned, gameplay and feedback could be a different story).

According to Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, “All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto V. Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry’s new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence.”

While the company probably has other expenses and bills they need to pay, the $800 million in sales has probably allowed the company to at least recover the cost of making the game, which according to earlier reports had it pegged at $265 million, making it one of the most expensive video games made to date. So, who else got their hands on Grand Theft Auto 5 when it was released?
