Video game publisher Take Two says that Max Payne 3 has managed to sell four million copies since it was launched in May 2012, a solid performance for the third-person shooter.

Three million of those units were sold during its first month on store shelves, according to data from CVG.

Sales continued even after Max Payne 3 received a final downloadable content pack, which added a new Deathmatch Made in Heaven mode to the title and made the competitive side of the experience more interesting.

Take Two has a history of launching solid hits during May, when the video game industry traditionally slows down in preparation for the dormant summer launch.

Max Payne 3 takes the character to Brazil and his blood-soaked experience also includes a number of flashbacks that explain why he had to leave his beloved New York.
