Rockstar’s flagship game, GTA V has sold over 65 million copies in the last 2.5 years. The RPG was released in September 2013 on PS 3 and Xbox 360. The game was subsequently launched on the PS 4, Xbox One and the PC in 2014, after the launch of the new gen consoles. According to reports, the game had already sold about 60 million copies in February this year. It means that the game has been selling over 2 million copies every month since its launch. Wow! That is some achievement.

The success of the game is owed to the great gameplay and story. While most people in the game just like drive around and blow things up, the game has continued to give variety to do that. Needless to say that the game has really intense graphics, and the detailing of the game has reached another level altogether, and not just in terms of the story, but overall how the game is played. For instance, when you are flying the plane, it is not all smooth and easy, there will be turbulence which obstructs the flow of the flight. However, the real winner for the game was the option of switching between three diverse characters. The 65 million purchases of the game indicate the immense popularity of the game.

Especially in the mission where you had to continuously switch between the three, where you had to make sure that Franklin and Trevor didn’t lose their lives, and Michael killed everyone else who was inside and firing at those 2. However, since the launch of the game, there have been substantial updates and introductions to the game. You can even play the game online with your other friends. The best apart about a franchise like GTA is that you can play it however you want, and yet there will more ways to try the game. It is really difficult to get bored of the game.

If you have been playing GTA V for a while now, then please share your best experience/ mission/ side-mission of the game.
