Grand Theft Auto 5 publisher Take-Two Interactive is making a killing on the violent video game.

In its first month, GTA 5 sold almost 29 million units, helping Take-Two generate $1.27 billion in revenue for the fiscal quarter. As Polygon noted(Opens in a new window), that 29 million represents copies of the game that have been sold to retailers, not necessarily purchased by consumers, but the game is unquestionably a success.

“The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a statement. “The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers’ enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment.”

Game maker Rockstar Games, a Take-Two subsidiary, launched GTA 5 on Sept. 17, earning more than $1 billion in its first three days — the fastest any entertainment property, including video games and feature films, has reached that milestone. A significant amount of the game’s success came during launch week, when GTA 5 counted more than $800 million in just 24 hours.

In fact, the latest version of the franchise has officially eclipsed Grand Theft Auto 4’s lifetime units shipped, according to Rockstar.

GTA 5 is available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; the Standard, Special, and Collector’s Editions run you $60, $80, and $150, respectively. The GTA Online companion world launched two weeks after the physical game with more than 500 missions and countless leisure activities, as well as the usual crime and chaos, job opportunities, races, sports, customization, and chance to earn reputation and cash flow.

For the on-the-go GTA player, Rockstar on Monday launched the iFruit app on Android, a month after it debuted on iOS. The companion app connects to your GTA 5 gameplay and offers additional social interactions, news, and access to other Rockstar Games applications. Grand Theft Auto: iFruit is currently available(Opens in a new window) for free download in the Google Play store.
