Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best-selling games of all time. It has sold over 160 million copies since it was first released back in 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360. But to really put that number into perspective, it helps to look at all the video game franchises that GTA V, by itself, has completely outsold. Be prepared the list is long.
All of this data was gathered from Wikipedia via its fantastic best-selling video game franchise list. I’ve removed some lesser-known titles and cleaned up the data and list a bit to make it easier to quickly scroll through everything GTA V has outsold in the nearly 10 years it’s been around.
Oh and before I just dump the whole list on you, it’s fun to add up some numbers and combine franchises on this list. For example, GTA V has outsold Metal Gear, Tekken, and God of War combined. It has also outsold Uncharted, Battlefield, and Civilisation. Oh and it has also sold more copies than all of Kingdom Hearts, Fallout, Kirby, and Guitar Hero combined, too.
Consider that useful info the next time you want to win a bar bet with someone. Anyway, here’s the full list. As I said earlier, it’s very, very long. Be prepared to scroll
