Rockstar's 12-year-old game is officially the best-selling title in PlayStation history by both dollars and units, with the franchise appearing three times in the top 10 while sales finally start to slow.

It's official: Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling video game on the PlayStation platform. Period. While Minecraft remains the king of number of units sold when it comes to video game sales, it definitely appears that GTA V is the more dominant title on a better selling platform.

As revealed by Mat Piscatella on Bluesky earlier today in celebration of the PlayStation brand's birthday in North America (the OG console was released in American shores on September 9, 1995), the 2013 title is the best-selling video game on PlayStation based on dollars and units sold.

GTA V is nearly over twelve years old at this point. Most games its age would be a fossil already. Instead, GTA V remains just as relevant as ever, even welcoming a new game mode set in Cayo Perico, with more content coming later this year and beyond. It's nothing short of extraordinary for a game to achieve this kind of longevity, even for a series like Grand Theft Auto.

What's even more amazing is that the non-annual-fixture franchise actually made it to the list of top-selling PlayStation titles thrice: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ranks 9th and 4th, respectively, in dollars made and units sold, while Grand Theft Auto: Vice City ranks 9th in units sold. Given this kind of commercial success on one platform, you can't blame audiences for believing rumors, theories, and speculations saying that PlayStation and Rockstar Games are teaming up for Grand Theft Auto 6.

Given that the PlayStation 5 Pro is positioned to be the most powerful console of the current generation, it's naturally going to be set up as the go-to console for GTA 6 until the PC port is available sometime later in the future.

With that said, while GTA V is closing in on Minecraft and Tetris for the title of the all-time best-selling video game, sales for the 2013 title have started to slow down. We weren't even sure it can do that. In its latest earnings report, Take-Two Interactive confirmed that GTA V has not sold more than 220 million units yet, representing a noticeable decline from its usual sales numbers based on previous earnings reports.

At this point, it might just be inching close to saturation - eventually everyone who would buy it will have bought it, right? However, don't expect Rockstar to stop supporting GTA V and Grand Theft Auto Online despite the slower sales. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously confirmed that they plan on supporting GTA Online for the foreseeable future even after GTA 6 comes out.

GTA V is currently available across three PlayStation generations with multiple editions, including Grand Theft Auto V Legacy and Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, also sold on PC.
