The leaders, when it comes to the number of buyers, are still Minecraft, with more than 150 million copies, and (452 million only on mobile devices). But undoubtedly, GTA V earned more because the game itself is more expensive, and it also has very advanced system of micropayments in GTA Online.

The network mode in the form of GTA Online plays the crucial role in the unabated popularity of the game. It turned out to be so popular that the authors of the game decided to focus on its development instead of preparing storyline DLCs after the premiere.
