9 Video Games That Make More Money In A Day Than You Ever Will

2. Grand Theft Auto V

GTA V
Rockstar

Daily Revenue: $4.97 million est. ($418.2 million across three months, divided by three, then by 28 for a single day)

You have to love Take Two's Strauss Zelnick. Going from once saying that franchises like GTA only stay valuable if they "rest", he then clearly saw the totals for just how much GTA Online was raking in on a day-to-day basis and promptly thought "Oh go on then... let's just see where this goes."

Because man, people really love them some GTA Online. On consoles and the Rockstar Social Club alone, just across the last quarter of 2017, Rockstar hoovered up a whopping $268.2 million.

It's no wonder that the patent for Red Dead Online has now been filed too, as though you can have faith in Rockstar to put the time into developing spectacularly detailed and artistically solid games, the financiers balancing the books would love for lightning to strike twice.

Do you see yourself playing Red Dead Online and dropping cash on that game's equivalent of Shark Cards?
