T2 Financial Report: GTA 5 and RDR 2 Figures, Silence Around Mafia: The Old Country

Take-Two November financial report for the last quarter turned out quite interesting. But let’s start with the numbers.

Sales Figures

• GTA 5 and GTA Online — 220 million copies sold (+5M). The gap with the number-one spot keeps shrinking, but it’s unlikely to ever catch up to Minecraft.
• Grand Theft Auto series overall — 460 million copies sold (+5M).

Comment from Strauss Zelnick, CEO of the company:

We continue to supply content to GTA Online, and in fact we’ve had terrific results there. And GTA+ continues to grow its membership. In fact, it’s had 20% growth year-over-year.

• RDR 2 and Red Dead Online — 79 million copies sold (+2M), the western jumped two spots in the rankings — from sixth to fourth. The road to third place lies ahead.
• Red Dead series overall — 106 million copies sold (+2M).

Unfortunately, Take-Two didn’t disclose the exact sales numbers for Mafia: The Old Country. From two different analytical reports (one, two), we know it has sold over one million copies, but no official figures were released. During the presentation, however, the company noted that before release, over 2.9 million PS5 owners had added the Mafia prequel to their wishlists — one of the top five best results in PlayStation history. Presumably, GTA 6 is also among that top five.

What we suspected was confirmed. Which is just… if you give consumers a great narrative experience that’s a lot of fun, somewhat contained, and at a fair price, then you can have the perfect result.

No clear answer was given when asked about the future of the series.

We’re really excited about Mafia, and I think that’s a great question because it is sort of a reset for the franchise. We don’t have anything to announce — that comes from the label — but it definitely performed well ahead of expectations.
