Take-Two Interactive Delays GTA VI Again Amid Strong Q2 Earnings
Take-Two Interactive Software has postponed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI for the second time, pushing the launch to November 19, 2026. The delay comes despite robust quarterly earnings, with net bookings soaring 33% year-over-year to $1.96 billion.
Investors reacted swiftly to the news, sending shares down 7% in after-hours trading. The market had priced in the original May 2026 release date for what will be Rockstar Games' first new GTA installment in over a decade.
The company raised its full-year guidance to $6.4-$6.5 billion, reflecting confidence in its recurrent revenue streams. These ongoing consumer payments now represent 73% of total bookings, growing at a 20% clip year-over-year.
