Score Breakdown
The Review
GTA V is an absurd achievement in scope, satire, and sandbox design. Three playable protagonists, a sprawling recreation of Los Angeles, and the cultural juggernaut of GTA Online have made it the most commercially successful entertainment product in human history. Rockstar's satirical take on American excess is sharp, funny, and occasionally profound. It has sold over 200 million copies and shows no signs of slowing down.
Fun Fact
GTA V has generated over $8.6 billion in revenue, making it more profitable than any movie, book, or album ever released.
