Grand Theft Auto is one of the highest-selling and most influential franchises in gaming history, spawning five mainline titles and boasting millions of copies sold. The fifth entry in the series, imaginatively titled Grand Theft Auto V, by most estimates, ranks as the second highest-selling standalone video game of all time, only being beaten to the crown by the phenomenon that is Minecraft.
The long-awaited GTA VI could be set to smash that record, though. The new entry’s trailer is already breaking records by gaining the most views in a 24-hour period for a non-music video, and many early indicators suggest it could become the media event of the decade when it lands in 2025.
