GTA 5 is Still Selling Like Hot Cakes – 155 Million Copies Sold

GTA 5 is well-known as the pinnacle of the legendary Grand Theft Auto series. GTA 5 has everything an RPG needs, and it’s hard to imagine how GTA 6 can be any better. Of course, the fans sure want more from the franchise, and the sequel sure has to bring something new.
