Take-Two Interactive's , which means there's plenty of information to glean from the company behind 2K and Rockstar's latest numbers. What everyone wants to hear about, though, is Grand Theft Auto VI , which may just be the most anticipated video game ever, and in the meantime, GTA V has hit yet another astronomical sales milestone.
While Take-Two's chief executive officer, Strauss Zelnick , didn't get too deep into what's coming for GTA VI , he did confirm in an interview with and during the call with investors that we can expect more " marketing beats " for the game during Summer 2026 . He also reaffirmed the game's release date, which is, as of the time of this writing, still set to be November 19, 2026 .
" We feel great about it ," Zelnick told The Game Business. He added, " You know me pretty well, for me to even say we've got marketing beats coming this summer, is a huge departure from what I usually say, which is that our labels will make marketing announcements ."
Last month, on GTA VI's release date, we heard that its November date is a " more real " release window than its previous 2025 date . Before that, Zelnick said his confidence level that the game would not be delayed was " very, very high ." Everything Take-Two is projecting in this report supports that it will indeed be launching this coming November. Hopefully, that's still the case the closer we get to the date, though a lot can always change in the coming months.
Regarding GTA V's new sales milestone, Take-Two reports that the game has sold an astounding 225 million copies over the last decade plus. It adds that the Grand Theft Auto series has, overall, sold a whopping 465 million copies in its lifetime, which means that on its own, GTA V accounts for almost half of all copies of a Grand Theft Auto game that have been sold since the series launched in 1997.
Overall, Take-Two reported $1.76 billion in net bookings, well above its projected $1.6 billion for its third quarter, with Grand Theft Auto contributing its fair share to the increase in revenue. GTA Online, for its part, saw a 27% increase in revenue.
While everything is coming up roses in Take-Two's financials, its subsidiary and Grand Theft Auto VI developer, Rockstar, continues to be under pressure from unions over the firing of 31 workers in the UK and three workers in Canada . Rockstar continues to claim that these workers were leaking confidential information, while the IWGB union representing the fired workers continues to refute those claims and accuses Rockstar of union-busting.
The most recent update in that case was a UK judge denying the fired workers' interim pay , though the case itself is far from over.
