Posted by   on

The adventure thriller Grand Theft Auto V from the company Rockstar Games continues to bring a fabulous profit. The game is still selling well and holding the top positions in the ratings of the most popular projects by the number of simultaneously playing users. Not the last role in excellent indicators is played by the multi-user component - GTA Online. As it became known, gamers spent more than 1 billion dollars on microtransactions alone in online mode.


According to the analysis company SuperData, the income from micropayments in GTA Online (purchases of special cards with virtual currency) at the moment is 1.09 billion dollars. This makes the multiplayer game mode the most profitable digital console project in the history of the gaming industry. As for the Grand Theft Auto V itself, during the last financial report of the company Take-Two it became known that the circulation of the popular action movie exceeded the mark of 80 million copies sold.

Speaking of the situation as a whole, SuperData predicts additions to this year's unprecedented popularity. According to analysts, the owners of consoles will spend more on DLC games than on the games themselves. Unsurprisingly, many studios are beginning to abandon project-oriented projects for the sake of the so-called game services, which after the release are supported by paid additional content.
