GTA 5 Sold Another 5 Million Copies Last Quarter, Reaching 195M Lifetime
Grand Theft Auto V is a beast that never stops growing. The open-world sandbox has just reached another milestone in sales. Further solidifying it as one of the best-selling games of all time.
The news comes from a Take-Two earnings report, where it was revealed that GTA 5 has sold another five million copies in the last three months. It has now sold 195 million copies since its release in 2013. Below is a graph courtesy of X/Twitter user @DeekeTweak, showcasing how the game has grown year after year.
That was one of many things to come out of the earnings report. It was also revealed that its other shooter, Red Dead Redemption 2, has sold over 61 million units since its release in 2018. This is especially notable because the game hasn’t received the same level of post-launch support as GTA Online. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise because the game reached multiple new player-count peaks in 2023.
It’s also worth mentioning that Rockstar is currently working on GTA 6. The game doesn’t have a release date, but it’s scheduled to drop in 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Not much is known about the story other than that it will follow a woman named Lucia and an unnamed man in Vice City.

Grab 7 Awesome Dungeon Crawlers For Only $15
The summer sunshine is nearly here, and there’s no better way to welcome the warmer weather than by retreating into dark, dank dungeons full of monsters and loot with Humble’s new dungeon crawler-focused game bundle. The Humble FUNgeon Crawlers bundle offers up to seven highly rated PC dungeon crawlers of various genres, including strategic turn-based RPGs, tense roguelikes, fast-paced hack and slashers, and more. The full seven-game bundle costs $15, but there are smaller options if you want to spend less.
The cheapest tier is a $7 pack that includes Going Under, which is a fast and colorful Diablo-style action RPG where you loot abandoned office buildings rather than dungeons. You also get Hellslave, which mixes strategic turn-based combat with point-and-click dungeon exploration, and Devil Spire, which offers a challenging roguelike crawl up a deadly tower with first-person gameplay that takes cues from classic 90s games like King’s Field and Dungeonhack.
If you pay $11 you get two more games, including the monster-collection RPG Sirilam, and Lunacid, which is another first-person dungeon crawler inspired by older titles like Shadow Tower and Arx Fatalis, and features metroidvania-style level design and survival horror elements.
The full $15 bundle features all five games from the previous bundles, and adds the multiplayer co-op shooter Mythforce, and the card-based tactical roguelike Abalon. That adds up to $143 worth of games for just $15, and a portion of all sales goes to the Active Minds non-profit charity.
Humble’s FUNgeon Crawlers game bundle is available until May 24.

Ubisoft’s Newest Games Discounted To Best Prices Yet
Ubisoft is hosting a big sale on its website, and if you’re looking to bridge a few gaps in your Assassin’s Creed collection or check out one of the best games of the year on your PC, you’re in luck. One of the best deals here is for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, a recent release.

For a few “old” options, Ubisoft is also offering bundle deals and complete editions of several of its popular games. The entire Assassin’s Creed Valhalla experience will keep you busy for weeks, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint with all of its DLC is actually a great bargain for a solid action game, and strategy fans can test their mental might with Anno 1800: Annoversary Edition.
This Emote And Back Bling Were The Reason Fortnite Games Were Crashing
Epic has temporarily removed the Yoda back bling in Fortnite due to a bug that caused the game to crash for specific players whenever they performed the Zoidberg-inspired emote.
Just a few days after the Yoda black bling was introduced as part of the May 4th update, some players quickly discovered that their game would crash whenever they combined the two. Below, you’ll find a tweet shown by iFireMonkey, a well-known Fortnite content creator, demonstrating how the bug works.
If you do the Zoidberg Scuttle emote while wearing the Yoda backbling, there is a high chance that you will crash your game.
This is due to Yodas face bugging out with the emote.
There is also reports that this will crash people in your squads games as well pic.twitter.com/N0N5LLuIEp— iFireMonkey (@iFireMonkey) May 7, 2024
As Kotaku pointed out, Epic was made aware of this issue just a day before iFireMonkey’s video was posted. On the official Fortnite Status X/Twitter account, the studio released a statement saying:
“We’re aware that players may be experiencing occasional game crashes when using the Yoda Gear Pack, and the team is investigating the issue. We’ll provide an update when we have one.”
Shortly after that tweet was posted, Fornite vaulted an entire shop role which included the Disassembled C-3PO, Dagobah Luke Bundle, Dagobah Luke Bundle, and the Yoda Gear Pack. As of now, it’s unclear when Master Yoda and Dagobah Luke will be added back to the game.

Preorder Apple’s 2024 iPad Pro And iPad Air – How To Get The Best Deal
For anyone looking to get a new iPad Pro–or iPad Air–and have been waiting to see what Apple’s new models will bring to the table, the wait has been worthwhile. The flagship tablets for 2024 come with some of Apple’s best technology packed inside of an incredibly slim form factor, as well as an OLED screen to make every activity and task on them pop with vivid detail. Apple’s 2024 iPads and the upgraded Apple Pencil Pro are available to preorder now ahead of their May 15 release. as is the new Apple Pencil Pro that is compatible with both the iPad Air and iPad Pro.
While the iPad Pro does have a premium price, you can save $50 on your order by becoming a My Best Buy Plus member. Best Buy’s rewards program costs $50 a year, but you’re getting some great perks like exclusive discounts, free two-day shipping, and early access to sales. And if you’re getting the new iPad Pro, you’re getting the membership for free as a result of the discount–so there’s no reason not to sign up. If you trade in your old iPad to Best Buy, you can get the new iPad Pro for as little as $399.
The iPad Pro is a workhorse device, one that allows for high-power performance and is ideal for creative people on the move. Ever since the line was first introduced several years ago, they’ve been popular with artists, video editors, and other creative professionals, and their potential for productivity is increased when paired with an Apple Pencil Pro. Admittedly, the new iPad Pro is pure overkill if you’re looking for an entertainment device for when you want to sit back at night and chill with some Netflix or a few rounds of Marvel Snap, but the other draw of an iPad Pro is that it can realistically replace a laptop or PC for many people.
With its M4 chipset, the iPad Pro can also serve you well as a mobile gaming console. Apple has made some moves recently to attract big names in the gaming scene, and with titles like Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage available on supported hardware, the idea of a very portable and sleek game console is tempting. These tablets also have GPU upgrades, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and mesh shading, so AAA games should look great on the new tandem OLED displays. The same goes for cloud gaming and remote play with your PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam libraries
Combine a 2024 iPad Pro with a nice stand, connect a wireless controller via Bluetooth, and you’ll have a solid gaming setup when you’re not creating art or editing videos. Some of these models also have a “nano texture” on their display, Apple’s solution for reducing screen glare while avoiding washed out colors on its iPads. This is essentially a matte texture applied to the screen, but with some clever engineering, there’s no frosting on the surface that you’d typically find with this textured layer. This is the same tech you can find in Apple’s high-end Studio Displays (very fancy monitors).
Of course, if you don’t require that much power, you can also look at the iPad Air as a more affordable alternative. While they don’t have the M4 chipset of the iPad Pro–the new iPad Pro has around 50% better performance in comparison–the M2 chip inside of them is nothing to sneeze at. That’s still an impressive amount of power, and while this model doesn’t have an OLED screen, the LED display still packs a visual punch.
For entertainment, the iPad Air has two stereo speakers and mics, while the iPad Pro has a quad-speaker system and four mics. The more expensive iPad Pro will naturally sound better with its robust setup, but the iPad Air should still be pretty decent when you’re relaxing in bed and streaming an episode of Shogun. If you’re into photography, both models have decent 12-megapixel cameras with an f2.4 aperture mounted on the rear, and the front-facing cameras are now placed in a landscape position.
One of the other neat design choices this year is storage capacity, as at the very minimum, you’ll be getting 256GB of space to install apps, save content, and store pictures on your iPad Pro. If you need as much space as possible, the line maxes out at 2TB. The iPad Air, meanwhile, starts at 128GB and goes up to 1TB.
We’ve gathered up all the available purchase options for you, including base models and the fancier versions equipped with a SIM card slot for cellular coverage.
