It’s followed by five different Call of Duty games, which are interrupted by Red Dead Redemption 2 for the seventh spot, before returning to more Call of Duty. Modern Warfare also took out the top spot for best selling games in 2019 in the US.

For those unfamiliar with the incredible success of Grand Theft Auto 5, in 2018 it was listed as making more money than any film, book, or game. It’s now on Xbox Game Pass for anyone who’s missed out though it won’t be getting a movie adaptation, despite the evident popularity.
