We previously reported how Grand Theft Auto V was breaking sales records in its first 24 hours with $800 million in units sold. This weekend, Take-Two Games reported yet another record for the game, as it has managed to break the $1 billion sales mark in just three days’ time.
“We believe this marks the fastest that any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached this significant milestone,” stated the company.
The previous game to break the billion dollar mark was Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which sold that amount in 15 days.
“Grand Theft Auto is a cultural phenomenon and Rockstar Games continues to redefine what can be achieved in interactive entertainment,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “We are incredibly proud of the extraordinary critical and commercial response to Grand Theft Auto V.”
The game is available now for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version is rumored to arrive later this year as well.
