The second-best-selling video game of all time, Grand Theft Auto 5, lost traction in September. The Rockstar Games title couldn't fight off several blockbuster titles that topped the sales charts in Europe, which saw the game drop to 6th place in Europe (down from second in August) and 7th in the United States and Canada (down from August's fourth-place numbers), as per Sony.
GamesIndustry.biz also confirms that GTA 5 was "only" the 7th best-selling game in the United Kingdom last month, with its combined disc and digital sales falling short of other new titles, including EA Sports FC 25, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and Astro Bot.
Interestingly, September was quite the month for Rockstar and GTA Online. After many years, the long-time GTA developers finally introduced BattlEye into GTA Online. The initial implementation of the anti-cheat software resulted in a wave of false positive bans of innocent GTA Online players, which Rockstar claims it has already reversed.
However, if your account is still banned, you can try appealing the decision but you shouldn't expect too much. Rockstar has clarified that those who didn't receive emails about ban reversals were caught cheating.
