Before GTA V was released everyone knew it was going to be a massive hit. So far every game in the series since GTA III has been a big deal on consoles and PC. But GTA V really was a massive success, and has already set not one, but seven world records.

Confirmation of the world records comes from the only source that really counts: the Guinness World Records. Six of those records relate to sales, the seventh is related to the game’s trailer being viewed. Here’s the full list of which records GTA V now holds:

Best-selling action-adventure video game in 24 hours

Best-selling video game in 24 hours

Fastest entertainment property to gross $1 billion

Fastest video game to gross $1 billion

Highest grossing video game in 24 hours

Highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours

Most viewed trailer for an action-adventure video game

Those records were achieved by managing to sell 11.21 million copies of the game in the first 24 hours. That equates to revenue of over $815 million in the first day, increasing to over $1 billion by day three. Such massive sales and revenue hasn’t just knocked games off the world record list, it’s also affected movies.GTA V has surpassed Call of Duty, Avatar, and The Avengers in its quick rise to the top spot.

Will GTA V retain those records for a long time? Well, there’s a new multi-format Call of Duty game on the horizon, but I doubt that will achieve the same highs of previous titles. Avatar 2 isn’t arriving until 2016, and The Avengers: Age of Ultron won’t release until 2015. Is there any other movies or games that could potentially beat GTA V’s figures? Gran Turismo 6 is going to be popular, but then it’s limited to a PS3 release.
