The Rockstar title was one of the most anticipated announcements, and its success has already passed through three generations of consoles.
10 years ago, Rockstar confirmed one of the most anticipated announcements by the community: GTA 5 was real. An extremely acclaimed news that confirmed what would become one of the games most popular in history. After all, and although its launch took place in 2013, the networks were frequently filled with rumors and hopes prior to the confirmation of Rockstar. And such joy was more than justified, since GTA 5 is still a complete success.
GTA 5 has sold more than 150 million units and continues to lead the sales chartsThat October 25, 2011, the developer updated its website to show the first icon of GTA 5, something that would expand a week later with a trailer of the game. Some initial images that they sent us back to San Andreas and that they predicted a success that we never saw coming, since no matter how much the analysts of the time assured that the fifth installment of the franchise would be “the best-selling game in history” or “one of the biggest releases in history” , we did not expect that such grandstanding were reality.
Today, we find GTA 5 on the lists of best selling games in several countries, including Spain. Something that shows a fame preceded by the sale of more than 150 million units throughout three generations of consoles, having already confirmed its arrival on Xbox Series and PS5. So Rockstar, with unclear intentions regarding a possible GTA 6, continues to enjoy the success of its most iconic installment.
Waiting for the developer to continue the franchise, which in turn is perceived as an incredibly big challenge after the creation of a legend, Rockstar continues with its initiatives and prepares for the launch of GTA: The Trilogy on November 11th. But, if you want to remember old times, here is the initial analysis of GTA 5, a milestone in the history of video games.
