PARIS: Ahead of the release of “Grand Theft Auto VI” on Nov 19, here are the key numbers behind the success of the violent video game series since it was launched in 1997.

480 million — The number of Grand Theft Auto games sold so far by creator Rockstar Games. “GTA V” alone has sold nearly 235 million copies since its 2013 release, according to figures from Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive published on Monday. Released for PlayStation and Xbox consoles and PCs, it is the second best-selling video game after “Minecraft”.

17 — The number of stand-alone titles and expansion packs in the series, including “GTA VI”, along with GTA Online.

3 — The number of days it took “GTA V” to reach $1 billion in sales after its 2013 release, two days fewer than the film “Avengers: Endgame”. Take-Two says it was the fastest any entertainment product had reached the billion-dollar mark.

212 — The size of “GTA VI” in gigabytes at launch, making it one of the largest video games ever made. It will take at least 45 minutes to download, and possibly hours, depending on internet speed. Rockstar has made it available for pre-loading this week to ease the strain on servers on launch day.

13 — The number of years fans have waited since “GTA V” for the new installment. “GTA VI” was originally scheduled for late 2025 but was delayed twice, with Rockstar saying it needed extra time “to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect”.

6 — The number of playable female characters in all GTA games since 1997, before the introduction of Lucia Caminos in “GTA VI”.

90 — The number of videos showing “GTA VI” in development that were stolen and posted online in 2022.

4,000 — The number of articles written about the franchise up to 2009, according to Guinness World Records, which called it the world’s most controversial video game series.
