Grand Theft Auto 5: Most commercially successful game of the decade in the USA

Grand Theft Auto V was the most successful game in terms of commercial success released in this decade in the USA. It is based on the data gathered by the market research firm NPD Group. In 2018, GTA 5 earned the title as one of the top-performing entertainment items ever. In November of 2018, Rockstar Games broke the record of selling 115 million units, according to NPD Group.

The commercial success is not accidental: GTA 5 already enjoyed immense popularity on PS3 and 360; however, it was made available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In addition, the multiplayer element of GTA Online ultimately made the game more long-lasting and brought in additional revenue through microtransactions. In the end, GTA Online was regularly on the charts of sales, even several many years after its release.
