Grand Theft Auto 5 takes top spot on Xbox Live

4.5
Grand Theft Auto 5 has beaten Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for the title of most-played game on Xbox 360, according to a recent blog post by Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson.

Note that this doesn't necessarily mean more people are playing GTA Online, the multiplayer component of GTA 5, as Major Nelson's data tracks how many unique users are signed onto Xbox Live while playing a game, regardless of whether or not they're using online features.

Not everyone has moved onto the newest of the new though, as the top ten list also includes GTA 4, as well as Modern Warfare 3 and the original Black Ops. Meanwhile, Minecraft is still holding onto third, surrounded by guns, criminals and sports.

Once ghosts comes out that will take #1.


I don't think so, it'll take a while untill people get bored.


Maybe, it depends on the persons personality
Ghosts won't get number 1. Nobody I know will be buying any new COD's until they start putting some effort in them...


That's what everyone says every year.
But it always ends up happening(not saying I'm happy with it)

I like that Halo Reach is still a community strong game with the #19 spot.
