Much has been said about GTA V already, since the game has been released it's been braking one record after another. Guinness has officially confirmed that GTA V has broken 7 world records. We already know that it was the first entertainment product to make $1 billion, this includes movies, games, music etc.
Grand Theft Auto 5 was released 17 September for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it's still not released for PC or Nintendo Wii U. Rocstar Games has invested $265 million in to this game, the most expensive production of any game ever, but it was all worth it. GTA V has already made a huge profit and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.
As far as the Guinness world records, this is what Craig Glenday had to say about the game: "GTA totally deserves to be recognized as an icon of modern British culture, and we're thrilled to be able to feature the game in the record books. Gaming is no longer a niche hobby, as GTA 5 has proved, and how exciting that it's taken on the might of Hollywood and won! I'm also doubly proud as a Dundonian to welcome this home-grown series back into the Guinness World Records book.”
This is the full list of the 7 world records that GTA V broke so far:
1. Best-selling action-adventure videogame in 24 hours
2. Best-selling videogame in 24 hours
3. Fastest entertainment property to gross $1 billion
4. Fastest videogame to gross $1 billion
5. Highest grossing videogame in 24 hours
6. Highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours
7. Most viewed trailer for an action-adventure videogame
Seven world record so far, not bad, not bad at all, but we expect this number is going up very soon
