Launch day sales managed to generate around $800 million and ends up beating out last year's top game (Black Ops II) by around $300 million.

For comparisons, GTA IV's launch day did around $300 million in sales.

Rockstar's au revoir to the current generation is raking in huge amounts of revenue for parent Take-Two, which is relying on Grand Theft Auto V to make its current financial year a success. With $800 million in the bank already, the return to Los Santos is looking to break records.

In comparison, Call of Duty: Black Ops II previously held the record for day one sales with $500 million. That game reached the $1 billion mark after being on shelves for 15 days.

Grand Theft Auto IV earned $310 million on its first day in 2008, reaching the half-billion dollar mark in a week's time. Grand Theft Auto V launched worldwide yesterday, except in Japan and Brazil.
