GTA 5 Currently Holds Seven Guinness World Records

After a wildly successful launch that saw the game earn plaudit after plaudit, it's been revealed that Grand Theft Auto V officially holds seven Guinness World Records.

Since being released on September 17, the fifth title in the Grand Theft Auto franchise has enjoyed huge sales figures, and managed to generate more revenue than movies such as The Avengers and Avatar.

The full list of Guinness World Records now held by the game is as follows:

1. Best-selling action-adventure videogame in 24 hours
2. Best-selling videogame in 24 hours (selling 11.21 units)
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 (it managed $815.7 million)
7. Most viewed trailer for an action-adventure videogame

Alongside these feats, it's also become the UK's fastest-selling game of all time, outsold GTA IV's lifetime sales in the UK in just three weeks and also overtaken The Last of Us to become the PlayStation 3's best-selling digital title...and we don't think it's done just yet, either.
