Take-Two Keeps Its Forecast and Its 19 November Date in Latest Results

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, published its results for the second quarter of its 2027 financial year on 9 November 2026. For players, the useful part is short: the release date has not moved.

The date, in a formal filing. The results list Grand Theft Auto VI for release on 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A release date stated in a company's results, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ten days before launch, is about as firm as a date gets.

Pre-orders. Chief executive Strauss Zelnick said pre-orders were continuing to reach "unprecedented levels". The filing does not give a number, so any specific pre-order figure you see quoted is not from this document.

The forecast. Take-Two repeated its forecast for the full financial year: net bookings of between $8.0 billion and $8.2 billion. For the current quarter, which runs to 31 December 2026 and includes the launch, it forecasts net bookings of $3.35 billion to $3.5 billion. Net bookings is the company's measure of what customers spend on its games in a period.

GTA Online is still part of the picture. The filing names the Grand Theft Auto series among the biggest contributors to the quarter, and lists the Kortz Center Heist update, released for GTA Online on 14 July 2026, among the period's releases.

What's speculation. How many copies the game will sell, how the launch affects GTA Online, and when or whether other versions follow are not covered in the filing. Forecasts are also exactly that: the company's own expectation, not a result.

Why it matters to players. Mostly as reassurance. After two changes of date, the publisher has now put 19 November in its results with launch days away.
