It's been almost eight years since the release of GTA Online and it has undoubtedly been Rockstar Games' most successful game. GTA Online is the online version of GTA 5 which has also broken quite a few world records such as the one for the highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours.
GTA 5 was released on the 17th of September 2013. On the day of its release, the game sold 11.21 million units in its first 24 hours, making it the highest-selling game on its release date. GTA 5 generated revenue of $815.7 million in just one day and crossed the 1 billion mark in sales after just three days on September 20, 2013.
The game today has 7 world records under its name including the highest-grossing video game in 24 hours and the most viewed trailer for an action-adventure videogame. Though all this got the game its initial fame back in 2013, Rockstar Games has not failed to keep the title as relevant today as it was all those years ago.
