MCV AWARDS 2014: GTA V scoops trio of prizes

The biggest game of 2013 won more industry accolades than any other title at this year’s MCV Awards.

Grand Theft Auto V ran away with the Sales Triumph prize after generating over $1bn in just its first 48 hours on sale before becoming the best-selling entertainment product in history.

It also paved the way for creator Rockstar North, which also saw success as it took home the Games Studio award.

Elsewhere, GTA V topped competition from some of last year’s biggest releases such as FIFA 14, The Last of Us, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Call of Duty: Ghosts to win the hotly contested Game Campaign prize.
